English Eccentrics 1986 Alchemy Dress Freudian Slips Collection

English Eccentrics 1986 Alchemy Dress Freudian Slips Collection

From one of English Eccentrics' earliest collections 'Freudian slips' from 1986. Black silk screen printed with spirals and esoteric imagery -  'alchemy' textile design by Helen Littman.

Sleeveless with deep V-neck back and tulip double layer skirt. 

Named after Edith Sitwell's book of the same title, English Eccentrics established an international reputation for its distinct printed textiles since they were first sold at a stall in London's Kensington Market in 1984. 

English Eccentrics is recognized for its use of extravagantly rich combinations of color and unusual trompe l'oeil designs inspired by a myriad of subjects, including travel, ecology, architecture, costume, and nature, which are translated onto the highest quality silks. Helen credits much of her inspiration from what she calls her own "Grand Tour," which was in fact a series of short trips abroad during which she used a sketchbook and a camera to record ideas for future designs.
