| Object history | An original design croquis (sketch) by Suzan Rooke for Kenzo shows a similar fabric used for a short-waisted, elongated-sleeved sweater. The swatch attached to the croquis is very similar to this textile. The sketch is now in the Prints, Drawings and Paintings department. - Daniel Milford-Cottam (02/03/2017) |
