Celebrity fashion in Boston this fall
Last year, New York designer Arnold Scaasi sold more than 120 pieces from his collection -- including Barbra Steisand's infamous 1969 Oscar pantsuit -- to the Museum of Fine Arts. This fall, those pieces will finally go on display in an exhibition that "will explore the designer's relationship with his clients and how the garments created for them suited their lifestyles and helped them establish a strong public image."
Scaasi was best known for designing for celebrities (Mary Tyler Moore, Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Rivers) and first ladies. The show will run concurrently with an exhibition of Richard Avedon fashion photography.
