A Tribute to Rosario and Rose Rizzo at FIT, NYC


I had a chance to check out this exhibit at the Fashion Institute of Technology on W. 27th Street in New York City.   The tribute to Rosario Rizzo (Designer/FIT instructor), and his muse/FIT instructor Rose Rizzo, exhibited beautiful gowns with intricate and gorgeous detailing.
