Angi Perretti was born to nurturing parents and lived an idyllic childhood on a remote ten-acre farm in rural Miami, Florida in the 1950's. Throughout her entire childhood, she spent countless hours inside her "classroom of self-discovery." It was here at the age of thirteen that she first became inspired to become a costume designer. By then, it was the mid '60's and a constant fantasy of hers to create costumes for Elvis and Cher. One day, Angi's mother showed her how to sew a pair of shorts. From that day forward, her natural talent flourished. As a costume designer and master seamstress, Angi defines her artistic inspirations with a human identity--then portrays each unique character and personality within the silhouettes and fabrics of her designs. The "Walking~Works~of~Art" collection of trademark designs represent her elegant perspectives and tasteful expressions of the visual arts. "Life is all about the smiles." A.P.
