Ken Scott Flower Power Dress

World famous for his amazing prints and psychedelic colors Ken Scott was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana and trained at the Parsons School of Design before moving to Italy and starting his fashion business.

He began as a painter and counted American heiress Peggy Guggenheim as an early patron.  In 1954 his career got a boost when Christian Dior selected one of his flower prints for his Couture line.  His clothing was worn by celebrities and socialites, including Jacqueline Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn.  The Ken Scott Foundation has recently granted a license to relaunch a ready-to-wear collection, but who wouldn't want to own an original period dress like this one.

This amazing cotton floral print transforms the shirtdress, his most popular style.  Every shade of blue, green and lavender is used in this riotous garden print of tulips, hyacinths and daisies.  This beautiful dress is collarless with a high neckline, long sleeves and 26 fabric covered buttons down the front.  You decide how many you need to button!

This is a great go anywhere dress in the most cheerful of prints, and it is in excellent condition.
