In conjunction with the Nov. 22 release of the DVD set of Seasons 5 and 6 of Seinfeld, the woman behind one of the set's most memorable episodes, the one with The Puffy Shirt, is coming forward. Talking to USA Today, costume designer Charmaine Simmons dishes the dirt behind the shirt, describing how it evolved from her memory of a shirt she hated as a teen into an artifact of memorabilia on display at the Smithsonian. She also drops the frightening suggestion that the garment might actually be in style now, given Kate Moss' recent photo spread modeling a similar shirt. Insert your own joke about the supermodel's recent drug woes here.

Isn't there a free mini plaque with this shirt on it given away with the new DVD set?

I would think Kate Moss looks best without a shirt, but her recent drug scandal has me thinking she looks best EATING a burger. The girl is way too thin.

This episode the shirt was in still remains one of the funniest episodes of Seinfeld IMO.

I saw it at the Smithsonian....I was in total awe. My friends that I was with were like, c'mon, let's go and I just stood and stared. I'm obsessed, I guess. ;)
