Object history	An original design croquis (sketch) by Suzan Rooke for Kenzo shows that this fabric would have been used for the body of a long-sleeved, loose-fitting tunic top. The sketch is now in the Prints, Drawings and Paintings department. Rooke's notes indicate that the fabric was made using Fabelta viscose. - Daniel Milford-Cottam (02/03/2017)
