1970s Giorgio di Sant’Angelo, Ribbon Dress, Shirt Dress, Gypsy Chic
1970s Giorgio di Sant’Angelo Famous Ribbon Dress
Materials: Cotton and Poly/Cotton
Brand / Maker: Giorgio di Sant’Angelo
Era: 1970s
Our dress was featured in Vogue 1970, and there are several pieces from the same collection (including this dress) in Costume Collections across the country. Heavily influenced by nomad culture and Indigenous beadwork this dress is the ultimate Gypsy couture. Giorgio di Sant'Angelo was noted for his use of multiple inspirations. Borrowing embroidery, prints, and embellishments from cultures such as Native Americans, gypsies, and Asian dress, Sant’Angelo translated them into his patchwork peasant dresses and kaleidoscopic bohemian textiles.
Giorgio di Sant’Angelo’s undeniable talents and creativity, and his trust in his own vision steered him through a dazzling array of opportunities in the arts throughout his life. He received a degree in architecture from the University of Florence, went on to study industrial design, and apprenticed with Pablo Picasso after winning first prize in a ceramics competition. He animated a short film that led to another apprenticeship with Walt Disney in Los Angeles, and worked as a textile and interior designer in New York City, living in a Park Avenue apartment that was decorated with modular furniture he designed and made himself.
He launched a ready-to-wear collection in 1968; it was brim full of trippy kaleidoscopic prints, feathers, tie-dye, folklore embellishment, and suede fringe, taking inspiration from a variety of ethnic groups, reflecting the peace and love message of the times. He brought gypsy and peasant style to fashion before Yves Saint Laurent famously did so in 1969.
