About this product

Product Information

Helen Littman's textile designs for the English Eccentrics fashion partnership are instantly recognizable. Her trademark is a series of rich trompe-l'oeil scarves collected by museums such as the Victoria and Albert and illustrated by leading fashion magazines as essential accessories. The colour combinations, produced with intense acid dyes, are a trademark, and are reproduced in this book. The book is both a catalogue of some of the most beautiful and influential textile designs of the 1980s, and an account of the influences and processes that underlie them. Helen Littman writes about the importance of travel, ideas about the mind, green issues and the women's peace movement in generating her designs. The book, designed by Carroll, Dempsey & Thirkell, illustrates the designs in full colour throughout.
