Covering his almost three decade–long career, which began in the late Sixties, “Giorgio di Sant’Angelo” features more than 40 ready-to-wear pieces and accessories that embody his famous—and infamous—body-conscious and colorful bohemian aesthetic, including gowns worn by his longtime muse, Veruschka.
