Label Text:Jacques Fath came to New York twice a year to design ready-to-wear collections suited to the tastes of his American clientele. Fath collaborated with manufacturer Joseph Halpert to articulate his vision of garments that would sell on the American market. The polka dots on this evening dress and jacket add flair to the ensemble.
