Designer Spotlight | Mariano Fortuny

The Museum at FIT presents its Designer Spotlight series where MFIT curators explore objects from our permanent collection that highlight a specific designer's work and their contributions to fashion. In this video, MFIT curator Melissa Marra-Alvarez highlights the designs of Mariano Fortuny (1871 - 1949) whose textile innovations and classically-inspired Delphos gowns remain alluring and influential today.
