The 6th annual Art After Dark Party at the Philadelphia Museum of Art is on Saturday, April 9 highlighting the new exhibition on iconic Italian fashion designer Roberto Capucci: Art Into Fashion. Co-chaired by Gretchen Burke, Jaimie Field and Karen Tarte the evening supports the Museum’s Education Department and will be quite the stylish soiree consisting of a decadent dinner and a Live-Auction by Sotheby’s auctioneer, Courtney Booth. We went straight to the fashion department of 1stDibs.com and found a fully vintage ensemble and this amazing silk ombre 1970’s Roberto Capucci gown, which would be perfect for such an occasion. We added a waist-cinching 1960’s gold Christian Dior tassel belt, heart-shaped YSL emerald and gold earrings with a pair of cuffs from the 70’s. Polishing off the look with bamboo-heeled shoes and a green Celine clutch. To purchase tickets and for further information about the event please click here.
