Harem pant & sash
Fanny Buss started printing fabric in the 1950s and over time two of her daughters, two grandchildren and several dressmakers joined the collective. Although Fanny died in 1986, some of her family continued to design under her name. This harem pant and sash was designed by her grandson Martin Trusttum who says he learnt block and screen printing techniques from his grandmother. It was photographed for an editorial for Fashion Quarterly magazine in 1989.
