I wanted to share a few photos of some of my favorites!
 |
| Bocciolo (Bud) Dress 2009 - 1956 reproduction The "bubble" skirt is not a recent fashion trend! Capucci first did it in 1956 |
 |
| This 1971 silhouette and style was so influential that even my mother's wedding dress mirrors this style! I will share that gem with you in the future! |
 |
| 1984 Silk Taffeta embroidered with crystal beads |
 |
| 1984 Cinema Sculpture Dress Can you see the reels of film? |
 |
| 1985 Pleated Silk Taffeta I actually joked that he MUST be part Egyptian to be able to pleat like that, when it was pointed out that Capucci came across some VERY old pleaters in 1971 and started experimenting with them! |
 |
| 1984 Bougainvillea This reminds me of some costumes I wore in Little Shop of Horrors! |
 |
| 1992 Satin Sculpture Dress |
 |
| 1992 Pagoda Sculpture Dress |
And now it is Time for the

ReplyDeleteWell, I am glad that you are getting youe 'fashion' fill in Philly since we didn;t make it to NYC. What an amazing exhibit! I am sure it reminds of you of your costuming days. I am sure you will be creating something amazing from this inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible exhibition! I love the Philadelphia Museum of Art. My husband and I used to travel to King of Prussia every year for an American Folk Art show when we owned our business. We always added a few days to our trip to enjoy Philly. Such a great city!
