Dappled foliage print day dress
Barbara Herrick started her Babs Radon label in the 1950s. Barbara's designs reflected her wish to bring a fresher, younger look to women who, much like herself – independent and industrious – were seeking modern fashionable clothing. Barbara says the original dress would have had a self fabric belt, rather than the leather one in the photograph.
