Dress with stained-glass window screen-print

Mike Brookfield designed this dress with an original stained-glass window screenprint for his fashion label Virus. "When I was a child in England I was often taken to visit old churches and cathedrals. The impression made on me then by the beautiful stained-glass windows was the trigger for this design." He called the dress the Cyndi Dress, after singer Cyndi Lauper.
