Ensembles/Gowns by Adolfo, circa 1970
Here at Bustown Modern, we are forever a champion of the 60's/70's work of designer Adolfo Sardina. His work from this period is a beautiful exploration of sumptuous fabrics + furs -- silks, metallic brocades, quilted velvets, sable + mink -- along with impeccable construction + extravagant forms. As a designer, he often gets a bad rap. His later St John-style/santana knit rut from the 70s + 80s clouds the public's eye from his previously brilliant work.
