Bohemian Wrapsody-Giorgio di Sant’ Angelo- LA Times Sep11- By Booth Moore

The Phoenix Art Museum presents the first ever retrospective of Giorgio di Sant’ Angelo, the fashion designer whose no-holds-barred career ran from the late 1960s to the early 1990s.
The timing for a tribute to the designer with the piled-on, multi-culti aesthetic couldn’t be better: Aztec patterns and western influences can be seen in many of this year’s fall collections—Proenza Schouler, Rodarte, Diane von Furstenberg and Isabel Marant, to name just a few.
