Behind the design

A yellow-green jacket sits above a green patterned skirt in this coordinated spring/summer 1996 look. The restrained proportions and contrasting surfaces invite close comparison between color, pattern and silhouette. The museum records a mixture of linen, cotton and synthetic textiles, together with leather, synthetic and metal accessories.
