“THE LOTUS PRINT CARDIGAN & TANK”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

………………The LOTUS PRINT was printed on a DOUBLE GEORGETTE making it slightly sheer, but not necessitating a lining of any sort. I did this print originally for Anne Klein, as seen above in the lower center photos, from my AK Look Book, It was developed for me by ETRO on silk double Georgette……The Linea version was also in a double georgette, but this time on a beautiful polyester…..I know polyester to this day still has a bad reputation, but it has come a long way, and constantly shows up on designer collections in one way or another….The edges of both the cardigan and the tank were bound in black. The front of the cardigan was longer, and came to points so it was easy to tie……It came in two color combinations………BAMBOO/BLACK….and BLUSH/BLACK…..It could be worn with the Hopsack trouser…….That season I did Champagne and Blush pearls that everyone loved……and I’m sure still have!
