Amazing and insanely ambitious costume designs from 1977 by the legendary Larry LeGaspi with set design sketch by Rob Cobuzio.

These designs were to be used in an unrealized play called “Pork” that would have starred Divine. 🐔🐷🍳🥓🍕🍦

The University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts (CFA), where the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) used to be (CVM gradually moved to UP Los Baños in June 1983). CFA is the country's oldest educational institution in design and the arts. Its origins preceded the foundation of the university, dating back to the early 19th century when the Academia de Dibujo y Pintura, the country's first art school, was established on 8 October 1823, in Binondo, Manila, by Damian Domingo with the assistance of La Sociedad Económica de Amigos del Pais. Although it was temporarily closed in 1834, the Spanish government revived it in 1845 with the patronage of Queen Isabela II.

The reestablished Academia welcomed Spanish art professors who introduced European Classical art traditions. Notable artists like Simon Flores and Juan Luna emerged from this institution, later achieving international recognition. Flores garnered a silver medal at the Philadelphia Universal Exposition of 1876. Luna's Spoliarium won a gold medal at the 1884 Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes en Madrid. Earlier, in 1881, Luna's La Muerte de Cleopatra won a silver medal. By 1891, the Academia transformed into the Escuela Superior de Pintura y Grabado.

In 1908, the Philippine Assembly, during the American colonial era, passed Act No. 1870, formally establishing the University of the Philippines. Fine Arts became one of the university's original founding units alongside the Philippine General Hospital and the College of Agriculture.

Over the years, CFA has produced at least 11 National Artists for the Visual Arts: Fernando Amorsolo (Painting, 1972), Guillermo Tolentino (Sculpture, 1973), Carlos Francisco (Painting, 1973), Napoleon Abueva (Sculpture, 1976), Vicente Manansala (Painting, 1981), Cesar Legaspi (Painting, 1990), José Joya Jr. (Painting, 2003), Abdulmari Imao (Sculpture, 2006), Benedicto Cabrera (Painting, 2006), Federico Alcuaz (Painting, Sculpture, and Mixed Media, 2009), and Larry Alcala (Comics, 2018). CFA’s history not only reflects the evolution of the University of the Philippines but also mirrors transformations of Philippine art and art education in the country.

Studio 54 quickly cemented itself as a place where artists, designers, and patrons alike could express themselves through fashion. Designers like Halston and Larry LeGaspi made fashion an integral part of the nightclub scene where there were many memorable outfits. Among others who added to the bold and diverse ensembles of the dance floor were British designer Zandra Rhodes and artist Richard Gallo, photographed here in a quilted coat. As well as being a location where fashion converged, Studio 54 also saw the birth of Calvin Klein’s iconic line of jeans, which famously emerged after a late-night conversation at the club.

What better excuse to get dressed up than a trip to see Studio 54: Night Magic? Book your tickets now before it closes November 8.

Legaspi: Larry Legaspi, the 70s, and the Future of Fashion

Written by Rick Owens, Contribution by Paul Stanley and Patti LaBelle and Pat Cleveland and André Leon Talley

The first volume documenting the life and work of Larry Legaspi, the designer behind the iconic looks for musical acts including KISS, LaBelle, George Clinton, and Parliament.

One of the unsung heroes of fashion in the '70s, Larry Legaspi was a designer ahead of his time. Crafting a space-age look in silver and black leather, Legaspi created the look for the defining musical acts of the era, including KISS, Labelle, George Clinton, and Parliament. Dying of AIDS in 2001, Legaspi left twin legacies as both designer and curator that remain largely unexplored. This volume, authored by Rick Owens, fills in crucial gaps in the knowledge of Legaspi's work and impact on the fashion world, while providing a dynamic visual presentation of the life and work of a legend. Filled with a blend of previously unpublished photographs of Legaspi's creations as well as new images of Owens's work, this stunning volume tells the story of the designer's subversive sensibility. An essay by André Leon Talley and interviews with Patti LaBelle, Paul Stanley, Valerie Legaspi, and Pat Cleveland offer a intimate glimpse into Legaspi's world.

“I’m thinking about how KISS was inspired to dress up "glam rock” after seeing LaBelle, & went as far as hiring their designer Larry LeGaspi. LaBelle was his first big client.”
