Designer: Giorgio di Sant'Angelo
During the 1960s and early 70s, he was in the business of turning women into gypsies. He worked as a stylist for Diana Vreeland at Vogue, helping to turn her fantasies into magazine editorials in exotic locales. And when those clothes could not be purchased by Vogue readers, mainly because so many of them were painted on the model, he began his own label in 1966.
For the next few years, he made colorful clothing of the ethnic sort that was so popular during this time. He also worked with stretch knits with lycra, making bodysuits and fitted dresses. In 1976, Di Sant’Angelo decided it was time for a change. He simplified his name, dropping the "di". He continued to design, but with a very different, much more subdued, aesthetic. Late in the 1980s he attempted to revive his label, but he died of lung cancer in 1989.
