Eco fashion before it was 'fashionable'. Ken Scott was an artist
and fabric and clothing designer who started designing under his own
label in the early 1960s. His trademark exuberant floral prints and
vivid geometric prints rivaled Pucci's. Scott called his look 'Hippie
Gypsy', but we wonder if that wasn't perhaps prompted by his innovative
use of that beloved substance of the hippie/natural culture - hemp.
This colorful floral print is printed on a woven duck fabric that is 58%
cotton and 42% hemp. The skirt is a classic A-line with a side zipper
closure. The shirt style jacket buttons up the front with cute
little egg-yolk yellow enameled metal buttons with 'KS' on the front.
The long sleeves have a buttoned cuff. Patch pockets sit at either hip.
Both pieces are unlined. The shirt jacket measures 40" at
the bust, 38" at the hip, 15.5" at the shoulder, 25" sleeve, and 24"
long from collar to hem. The skirt waist is 28", and measures 25" long.
The buttons on the sleeves are not enameled, and we honestly can't tell
if that was intentional or if the enamel wore off, otherwise, both
pieces are in excellent condition. $255
