Last week at the Legends of La Cienega 2012: Windows to the World in L.A., there was a rare exhibition of 25 rare dresses and velvet cloaks by Mariano Fortuny.
What a collection!
The dresses were presented by Keith H. McCoy & Associates in their showroom, where the dresses hung in front of some of Fortuny's new Colourismo Collection 2012. Mr. McCoy began collecting them in 1993, intending an offer to be submitted by a friend for three pieces. His friend later informed him that six dresses instead had been purchased for him, spending twice the budget allotted. Little did he know then that he would accumulate such an important collection.
