Label Text:Red capes have long fallen out of common use, but they continue to influence high fashion. Giorgio di Sant’Angelo’s version features intricate, multicolored embroidery that underscores the fanciful and folkloric look of many early 1970s fashions—a style for which this designer was especially well known.
