She had been up since 6 a.m. on a Vogue fashion shoot, set in a remote location in the Arizona desert. By noon, with the sun directly overhead, she was standing on a rocky ledge wearing a large piece of sheared mink twined, turbanlike, around her head. Her body was swathed in thick, vanilla-colored jersey, tied off with long pieces of leather.

On the one hand, the visual effect was that of a woman who had been kidnapped and tied up in a sleeping bag. But on the other hand — and this is the hand that matters — the effect was cutting-edge, mind-blowing, fashion-doesn't-get-any-better-than-this fabulous.

"At some point," Veruschka says in her rich, German-accented baritone, "it must have been too much. I fainted — tipped over like a tree." It was only after she came to that she realized the outfit wasn't completely impractical: Even though she had f

Giorgio di Sant' Angelo (Jorge Alberto Imperatrice), commonly known as Giorgio Sant'Angelo, (1933–1989) was an Italian/Argentinian fashion designer based in the United States. He was known for creating ethnic-inspired looks early in his career, for which he won the prestigious American Coty Fashion Critic's award in 1968 and in 1970. Using fabrics like tie-dyedchiffon, leather and cotton, he created romantic clothing that reflected the hippie culture of the era.
