Born Arnold Isaacs, Arnold Scaasi worked as an assistant to Charles James in the early 1950s. He began designing himself in 1956, and achieved early success—winning a Coty Award in 1958—for his contributions to American fashion. Scaasi was known for using the finest materials, as seen in this vibrant Liberty of London print silk.
