Square kerchief in silk printed with polka dots. The navy blue borders frame two interlocking white and blue squares. They are dotted with straw yellow and navy blue polka dots.Donation from the ERDOTEX group, European leader in the revaluation of used textiles, as a part of a partnership in the selection by Alexandre Vassiliev Foundation of the most emblematic pieces, in order to illustrate the history of fashion and to look at these pieces from the angle of Art work.
Because of the regularity of its patterns, weight printing requires the mechanisation of textile production. It was popularised with the rise of the Polka dance and its traditional clothing, particularly in the United States. After the war, great designers such as Christian DIOR seized on it and popularised this print for Hollywood stars.
