| Strapless evening gown,
Pink and silver sequins and embroidered lace,
Gift of House of Scaasi |
The Morris Museum’s
exhibition, Style, Color, Glamour: Clothes from the House of Scaasi,
features designs by fashion icon Arnold Scaasi, who has dressed notable
figures such as First Lady Barbara Bush, Elizabeth Taylor and Barbara
Streisand. Twenty-one of the 31 dresses and coats donated to the Morris
Museum by the House of Scaasi in 1997 will be on display between July
22, 2003 and June 27, 2004.
“Scaasi is known for his brilliant craftsmanship, color and
design,” said Elizabeth Laba, volunteer coordinator of costumes
at the Morris Museum. “The designs in the museum’s collection
demonstrate these qualities and the bold use of pattern combinations
and dramatic draping.”
