The Designer
New Jersey-native Burrows graduated from FIT in 1966 and quickly became one of the era’s most famed African-American designers.
The Label
Friends with Warhol, dressing Cher, partying at Studio 54: Stephen Burrows was the designer for the drug-laced disco days—and one of the first African-American names in the industry. Known for his signature “lettuce hems” and sexy, flowing chiffons, Burrows notably exaggerated stitching instead of hiding it, and often used bright colors like red for the thread.
The Look
Lots of chiffon—gathered, draped, and always sexy; vibrant disco-era colors like fuchsia, orange and turquoise; mini-miniskirts; and, most of all, soft, sumptuous jersey.
