This tufted paper Noh Coat with leather ties was cut from several paper bathmats. Rather than design paper clothing as a throw-away fad, she wanted to utilize paper as a barrier to the cold, as used, for example, by the homeless. She hoped to develop ways in which the insulating qualities of paper could be exploited in fashion, and incorporated into her line as an efficient, unusual, outer layer available for "pin money," albeit designed to be worn over her extravagently expensive cashmere tights and a funnelneck sweater. 1965.
