English Eccentrics S/S88 Screen Printed Dress

English Eccentrics S/S88 Screen Printed Dress

Navy Short sleeve mini dress with a round scoop neck front and V-neck back. Layered  flounced double skirt. Textile design by Helen Littman.

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.
