Dress

Designer Giorgio di Sant'Angelo American
spring/summer 1971
Not on view
In one of the great pilgrimages of modern fashion history, Giorgio di Sant'Angelo and Diana Vreeland went looking for the gypsy, in pursuit of the most colorful, authentic, and aboriginal form and manner of dress. That these two unlikely sophisticates came together in this passionate cause is itself romantic.
