The images on exhibit are the product of collaboration between William Claxton (a photographer known for his pictures of jazz musicians) and stylist Rudi Gernreich with his wife, model Peggy Moffitt, who was a dance and mime actress and also an excellent model for interpreting Rudi Gernreich’s contemporary avant-garde style. The result is an extraordinary production of graphic and photographic images summing up the style of this fashion genius with the close empathy between the artist and his muse.
