Alfred Shaheen Printed Silk Tussah Tunic

A very pale yellow background with swirling foliage and minarets in powder blue and rust. The front placket features covered buttons and loops. The tunic has a mandarin collar and a slim A-line shape. It can most certainly be worn as a dress or over leggings or wide pants or another long skirt. Its a gorgeous garment that really makes an elegant statement. Alfred Shaheen’s textile designs and fabrics are legendary and were inspired by Hawai’i, the South Pacific, and Asia. By studying their native designs and adapting them to textiles, Shaheen brought us such Hawaiian classics as the Pua Lani (Classic) Pareau, Tiare Tapa, and Joss Sticks handprints. His pieces are highly collectible.
