…………………ZEBRA……..is a pattern I have used over and over through out my 50 plus years of designing…….These sketches represent the first Zebra pattern I used for a Spring/Summer collection…….I first worked with the famous Italian company ETRO on designing this bold pattern in the early 80s for a Fall collection……We printed the exact same print again in the early 90s for a Spring/Summer collection on a beautiful stretch matte cotton sateen, and a silk crinkle georgette for the blouse. I also did a long shirt dress in the georgette [not pictured]…..The solid pieces were also in the same matte cotton sateen…..SAFARI is also a theme, and an inspiration I have used many times for every company I have worked for…..Of course safari and Zebra were perfect together……..Many of you own the ZEBRA crinkle georgette blouse and the Zebra trench jacket I did for QVC. It was a reproduction of the print I did with ETRO all those years before……and they STILL LOOK GREAT!……I think it is still one of the BEST ZEBRA patterns I have ever seen…….Thank you Mr. Etro……………The graphic Zebra design NEVER goes out of style!
