The shirt is printed with vertical stripes of different widths and colours. In some places the pattern of the print resembles silk moire. This detail along with the glazed finish is characteristic of Crolla's use of - and interest in - lavish textiles. \r\n\r\nStriped shirts were popular designs in the 1980s. John Galliano designed a brushed cotton shirt with vertical stripes in white, green and pink for his Ludic Game collection (Spring/Summer 1985).\r\n\r\nScott Crolla made his name in the 1980s as a high-end fashion designer. In 1981 he established the brand and boutique 'Crolla' with fellow fashion designer Georgina Godley. The boutique was located on Dover Street, Mayfair. Quirky and eccentric, the brand communicated a contemporary vision of Englishless with its use of vintage fabrics and ornate textiles. Originally solely a menswear line, a womenswear line was added in 1984, one year before the partnership between Crolla and Godley dissolved.\r\n\r\nCrolla was among the brands represented in the V&A's 2013 exhibition 'Club to Catwalk: London Fashion in the 1980s'.","physicalDescription":"A multi-coloured, printed, glazed cotton, man's shirt.
