Tunic, suit tunic
A printed slub silk woman's trouser suit; the beige ground printed in a puce, scarlet, black, green, purple and tan floral pattern. Owned and worn by Mrs Vere French, wife of the fashion photographer John French. The fabric was printed at Liberty's Merton print works in 1965. 'The design seems to have been drawn up by the Haward Studio who did most of the repeat work for Liberty at this period. The design was probably based on something in the archive.' (Anna Buruma, Liberty archivist)
