Label Text:Courrèges’s spring 1967 collection marked a transition between his Space Age geometry and the embrace of softer forms. Many pieces in the collection utilized windowpane-checked cotton, the hard lines of which were offset by scalloped edges. Other pieces from the collection were made from sheer organdy that was densely embroidered with stylized flowers.
