Iconic designer Rudi Gernreich was a collaborator. His model and muse Peggy Moffitt, and Moffitt’s late husband, the eminent photographer William Claxton, created memorable images that continue to resonate even 50 years after they were made. The talented trio regular fixtures on the L.A. art scene in the 1960s and 1970s and pushed boundaries regularly with the first topless swimsuit and “No-Bra” bra.
MOCA’s exhibition, The Total Look: The Creative Collaboration Between Rudi Gernreich, Peggy Moffitt, and William Claxton is on view at the Pacific Design Center through May 27, 2012.
