In the 1920s, Catalina produced increasingly daring swimwear,[5] including the boldly striped "Chicken Suit", men's "Speed Suit" and "Rib Stitch 5" suits.[1] With the rising glitz of the silver screen in the 1930s, Catalina adopted the slogan "Styled for the Stars of Hollywood". They added to the prestige by using Hollywood starlets, including Bette Davis, Joan Blondell, and Olivia de Havilland in their marketing campaigns. At the time, the average Catalina swimsuit retailed between five and ten dollars, equivalent to $111–$222 today (assuming 1935 dollars).- Wikipedia
