Feature films have dozens of people working on them, even in the costume departments, so often several costumers and "designers" contribute. The official costumer and director would have had final say, no matter how much celebrity designers like Flusser, Gambert, or Kabbaz have been involved. In fact, they probably all contributed, but the costume department might have made modifications to their contributions before filming. Given Kabbaz's often shameless self-promotion and assertions that he is a genius, I have to wonder if his contribution was as overwhelming as he suggests. Gambert was probably involved too; maybe he made the multiple copies of the shirts? (Remember, costume departments make several versions of each article of clothing as backups and for "action" scenes, at least for the stars.) Flusser probably contributed on a high level, as I doubt he was contracted to actually produce the dozens of copies of everything.

Who knows for sure? Only the official costumer knows for sure, and even if someone asked, the costumer probably (1) doesn't remember, (2) doesn't care, or (3) doesn't want to get into a spitting match between several designers, at least two of whom cite their involvement in this film as their main claim to greatness and would be bitches about it. This problem* will never be solved.

* I use the word "problem" in the academic sense, i.e. it's not really a problem at all and it certainly doesn't merit solving.
