PASSION A strong devotion to some activity, object, or concept:
Early in his career, Giorgio di Sant'Angelo adopted an experimental and intuitive approach to draping fabric on the body. As his style evolved, he explored the arresting potential of stretch fabrics, which he used to highlight the figure and create a sense of movement. This dress, designed by Martin Price for Sant'Angelo's label after the founder's death, follows this body-conscious approach, with stretch mesh worked in tight gathers around the bust and hips and falling into soft folds at the skirt. The style was named ''Cleopatra," referencing the Egyptian ruler mythologized for her disarming beauty.
