JEFF AND EMILIE GOLDBLUM IN HIS N’ HERS HAWAIIAN SHIRTS

Jeff Goldblum and his matching wife Emilie bring to mind a cute lesson in fashion history. Back in the late 40’s early 50’s, Americans visiting Hawaii were in the habit of buying His n’ Hers matching Hawaiian shirts – or even better, a shirt for Him and a matching sarong dress for Her. It was affordable and corny. In the 1970’s, Hawaiian shirts with their beautiful prints became very hot with vintage collectors and hipsters – they bought as many of the shirts as they could find to resell at high prices. Nowadays, those old colorful but fragile rayon Hawaiian shirts cost a fortune and are sometimes even framed as art. The Goldblums are having a retro style evening at Craig’s in their knock-off Hawaiian shirts.

  1. He looks like a million bucks (what is his secret?), and her dancer’s legs are exquisite.

  2. Good to see they’re happy together. Such a fun couple.

  3. Knock off shirts my a–. They’re either Gucci or Prada I forget which and each cost over $1,000. Do your research Janet.

  4. Big designers do knock-offs of vintage garments all the time – they just cost more than the originals!
