Virus eyes collage print mini dress, 1990s

Charlotte Smith discovered Virus through the artwork featured by Fetus Productions; the attraction to their records and poster graphics led to a love of their clothing. This dress features a surreal collage style graphic which references fragments of hollywood glamour. The all-over screen print is printed on lightweight, stable 100% cotton jersey. Stretch ribbed side panels not only provide contrast, but also a form fitting silhouette and movement.
