Designer Rudi Gernreich American, born Austria
1967
Not on view
La moda degli anni Sessanta, allontanandosi dal formalismo dell’alta moda parigina, si sviluppò su una traiettoria più innovativa e rivolta ai giovani. Ispirati in parte dalla fiducia utopistica nelle possibilità della tecnologia, i modelli fortemente geometrici di Gernreich rappresentavano un parallelo americano al futurismo delle forme di André Courrèges, Pierre Cardin e Paco Rabanne a Parigi. Il senso estetico di Gernreich basato sull’età dell’esplorazione spaziale si rivela in particolari come l’uso del vinile trasparente, i colori al neon e gli stivaletti a tronchetto.
