Object history
An original design croquis (sketch) by Suzan Rooke for Kenzo shows this design in a different colourway (the sleeves are dark plum-brown, the main body cream, and the pattern in blue, pink and gold) with slight modifications to the motifs along the bottom. The sketch is now in the Prints, Drawings and Paintings department.
