Fashion and art are always the first to welcome the outcast into society. Giorgio di Sant'Angelo's ascription of beauty to the prostitute is a significant avowal for the new classless beauty of the 1970s and after. Irony and media have both allowed the transfiguration, but the important and signal statement made by post-1960s fashion is that beauty will not be found in the haughty reiteration of social fashion but in the enlargement of fashion ideas.
