Beautiful Bellini

While information is somewhat limited, there's no denying the beauty of Italian designer Emilia Bellini's work. In the late 1960s she rivalled Pucci, Leonard + other leading design houses of the time with her vibrant colors + wild psychedelic patterns. Her jersey + chiffon dresses were designed to drape + fit the female form perfectly. Her work has been included in several exhibitions on Italian fashion including at the Mode Museum Hasselt in Belgium and the Brooklyn Museum in NYC.
