Giorgio Sant’Angelo Sheer Floral Open Cardigan; Vintage

During the 1960s, when American fashion was looking toward space exploration to dress women, the designer Giorgio di Sant’Angelo waxed romantic on the possibilities of ethnic, gypsy, and hippie culture to transform the American woman. He is remembered today for his colorful, bohemian aesthetic, but also for his uncompromising vision. He continually experimented with knits and developed new textile fabrics. It’s no surprise that he saw fashion’s mainstream appropriating many of his most innovative ideas. He studied under the eye of Picasso, and has served as an inspiration to many including Marc Jacobs, Nicolas Ghesquière, and Kate Moss who collects vintage pieces.
