Ripley Rader is an American fashion designer who is the founder and creative director of an eponymous clothing label based in Los Angeles. [1] [2]
Rader's interest in fashion was influenced by her upbringing in West Virginia, where her parents owned a fabric store, and her grandmother taught her sewing. [3] [4] Initially, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue musical theater. However, her career path changed to fashion design after a buyer from Fred Segal took an interest in a homemade jumpsuit she had created. [3]
In 2013, Rader founded her boutique store at Fred Segal, initially focusing on jumpsuits, which coincided with the resurgence of 1970s fashion trends. [4] [5] She chose jumpsuits because they can be worn by a variety of body types. [5] Later, she expanded her range to include other ready-to-wear items such as caftans, shift dresses, wide-leg pants, and crop tops, and introduced a plus-size collection. [5]
Her designed clothes have been worn by celebrities including Alessandra Ambrosio, [6] Amy Schumer, [7] Felicity Huffman, [8] Gigi Hadid, and Kate Upton. [5]

Hotpants or hot pants are extremely short shorts. The term was first used by Women's Wear Daily in 1970 to describe shorts made in luxury fabrics such as velvet and satin for fashionable wear, rather than their more practical equivalents that had been worn for sports or leisure since the 1930s. Hotpants are worn above the knees around the thigh area. The term has since become a generic term for any pair of extremely short shorts. While hotpants were briefly a very popular element of mainstream fashion in the early 1970s, by the mid-1970s they had become associated with the sex industry, which contributed to their fall from fashion. However, hotpants continued to be popular as clubwear well into the 2010s and are often worn within the entertainment industry, particularly as part of cheerleader costumes or for dancers. Performers such as Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue have famously worn hotpants as part of their public performances and presentation.

Fashion of the 1980s was characterized by a rejection of 1970s fashion.
