- Carushka started designing at age two by cutting up her mother's curtains and clothing to make doll clothes. Her formal training was at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. She worked for David Brown and Tori Richards winning awards. She went to her sister, Dania Molthen's ballet classes to watch and decided the dancers needed more attractive outfits. She designed the first stretch, cotton leotard. In 1978 she started Carushka Bodywear. Her innovative designs made her the forerunner in body wear. John Travolta wanted her to design for him, this line was called Travoltawear. The first week in stores his line sold out; but because of her failing health she couldn't design both lines and let his line go. She was the designer on both lines.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Dania Molthen
