Isabella Rossellini: underwear historian.

Isabella Rossellini was 19, a model, a student designer and new to NYC when Life published this blurb about her (scroll down a bit) in April 1972. An excerpt:

“Two years ago Isabella, fed up with Italy’s classical schooling, won her parents’ permission to switch to a fashion academy in Rome. An accomplished student designer now, she has worked as an assistant wardrobe mistress on one of her father’s films. Last month she came to New York to study English and to be near her mother, who is starring on Broadway. While here, she will also sneak off to the Brooklyn Museum to study the collection of ancient corsetry, the foundation of her fashion academy thesis, ‘The History of Underwear.'”
