Designer Rudi Gernreich American, born Austria
1967
Not on view
La mode des années 1960 s’écarte de la formalité de la haute couture et des grandes maisons parisiennes pour adopter une ligne orientée vers la jeunesse. Inspirées en partie par l’utopisme technologique, les coupes géométriques de Gernreich sont le corollaire américain du futurisme architectonique professé à Paris par André Courrèges, Pierre Cardin et Paco Rabanne. L’esthétique suggérée par l’ère spatiale se traduit par le recours au vinyle transparent, aux couleurs fluorescentes et aux bottillons.
