Irina Galliulin's (Mary Linda Rapelye) Floral Pantsuit - STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES (1966 - 1969


Irina Galliulin’s (Mary Linda Rapelye) floral ensemble from Gene Roddenberry’s space adventure Star Trek: The Original Series. This ensemble includes a black floral print velvet devoré shrug featuring a lilac lining and dramatic full, open sleeves. The matching wide-leg trousers have a high-low waistband and split front legs at bottom, lined in aqua blue. This ensemble comes from series costume designer William Ware Theiss’ personal collection, having been stored away from the damaging conditions often seen with traditional studio storage. Thereafter, archived by the Comisar Collection, it has been meticulously cared for and stored in a light, climate and humidity controlled fine art warehouse. This costume is in very fine production-used, vintage condition overall, with the ensemble retaining vibrant colors.

In the episode ‘The Way to Eden’ (320), the USS Enterprise pursues the stolen ship Aurora, eventually destroying it after beaming up its counter-culture occupants. Irina wears the ensemble as she searches for Eden with her hippie-like counterparts. Due to production budget constraints, ‘doubles’ (duplicates) of episode-specific costumes were seldom constructed for the series, and most likely this is the only such ensemble Irina utilizes in the episode, which she wears as she searches for Eden with her hippie-like counterparts.
