Clothes history:
According to Hildegard Angel (January 2017 interview), the dress was originally made for Zuzu Angel’s personal use, and was used at a formal social event held when Jean Shrimpton came to Brazil (IZA’s document archive has the newspaper with photos documenting the encounter between the two). Since Zuzu Angel and Bibi Ferreira had the same height, the dress was donated to her by Zuzu Angel, being worn in several shows and social events. After the death of Zuzu Angel, Bibi Ferreira donated the dress to the Zuzu Angel Institute (IZA).
