Recognize this girl?
This is Peggy Moffitt, a favorite model and muse of the late and great designer Rudi Gernreich.
The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, CA presents: The Total Look, an exhibition that celebrates the remarkable collaboration between Rudi Gernreich, his model and muse, Peggy Moffitt, and Moffitt's late husband and photographer, William Claxton. The exhibition features the designs of Gernreich, which are modeled by Moffitt, and photographed by Claxton.
This exciting exhibition runs from March 3 to May 20.
Cameron Silver, exhibition curator, fashion historian, and founder of Decades (basically he's a fashion extraordinaire!), trusted Margaret's to handle these priceless--often fragile--vintage items.
Margaret's was selected to clean and restore items that were chosen from Peggy's extensive collection to prepare them for the upcoming show. These delicate, vintage garments required special care in order to return them to their original condition. All of the vintage garments were gently cleaned by hand, and some of the more prominent pieces required reknitting and reweaving to repair damage incurred during storage. Some of the garments even required embellishment re-manufacturing. It was a very involved, challenging project that Margaret's was honored to manage.
