Peggy Moffitt, the model who, in the 1960s, became a symbol of the decade’s spirit of freedom and experimentation thanks to her signature look and collaborations with the avant-garde designer Rudi Gernreich, has died at 87 following a long illness. The news was confirmed by Moffitt’s son, Christopher Claxton, to WWD on Monday evening.

A full obituary is forthcoming.
