@we_are_here_we_are_queer: Posted @withregram • @nyclgbtsites “Hello, gorgeous.” — Barbra Streisand to her Oscar statuette when accepting the Academy Award for Best Lead Actress for “Funny Girl” in 1969, wearing a Peter Pan-collared sheer pantsuit with bell bottoms designed by Arnold Scaasi (pictured) ⁠ ⁠ Arnold Scaasi began showing his extravagant and influential ready-to-wear collections at his residence at 26 West 56th Street (pictured) in 1959. The lavishly redecorated rooms were styled by fashionable interior designer Valerian Rybar. The New York Times reported that the lush interior included “velvet-pillowed divans, velvet draperies and even velvet-covered bannisters in terra cotta tone…Chandeliers sparkle in the room.” Scaasi lived on the top two floors of the building; and made a practice of presenting his fashions at night, having the press and buyers dress up in formal attire, and providing his guests with champagne, sipped to the strains of violin music.
