1960s Cardinali wool two piece skirt suit. The “skirt” is actually a gaucho Coulotte style. Another words a wide leg crop pant that has the illusion of a midi skirt. 
 
Marilyn Lewis only used the finest fabrics, most imported from Italy. Cardinali clothes were worn by top celebrities and socialites including Nancy Reagan, Betsy Bloomingdale, Edie Gorme, Dionne Warwick and Dyan Cannon, but what really put the company on the map was a phone call from Marlo Thomas.  She wondered whether Lewis would design her wardrobe for Marlo's TV show "That Girl".
 
Saks Fifth Avenue was her first customer her clothes retailed for $300 - $2400 in that first year (about $2000 - $16,000 in today's dollar.)
