At 2:00 we will have a private docent tour of the Fashion Institute's retrospective of the extraordinary ingenuity of American designer Giorgio di Sant’ Angelo. Sant’ Angelo’s notable three-decade career generated a wide array of collections, all of which were innovative for their pioneering use of stretch fabrics and powerful expression of the era.  Featuring more than 40 ensembles and accessories, the exhibition spans the late 1960s through the early 1990s.
