An interesting blend of hand-painted flowers and photographs of a young Hawaiian woman, this short-sleeved Paradise Sportswear aloha shirt combines two kinds of designs popular at the time. First, there are the colorful red hibiscus running on vines across the sleeves and at the bottom of the shirt. Then there are the photos, one of a woman decked in a plumeria lei and wearing a dress made from tapa leaning against a coconut tree, and another of a bikini-clad woman sitting on a grassy lawn. Both smile in that inviting way that has made Hawai‘i so welcoming.
