Label Text:Giorgio di Sant’Angelo adapted the “hippie” aesthetic — which often included worn, antique clothing — into high fashion. Many of his designs from the late 1960s and early 1970s were intentionally distressed and assembled in ways that highlighted their craftsmanship, exemplified by this skirt fashioned from irregular patches of bleached suede that are visibly whip-stitched together.
