This was a type of cleavage that came out in the 80s, designed by Cristobel Balenciaga (to the best of my knowledge). Does anyone know what it's called in English?

: I believe it refers to the cleavage, not the garment itself.

Discussion
However, I think "boob tube" (no halter straps) is actually the best translation in this case: it's for a review of some of the most classic horrors of 80s fashion.
And sorry about "herrimientas", I must have got the category wrong - I meant to go straight into "Textiles / Clothing / Fashion".
Thank you everyone!
