Henri Matisse’s Fauvist color treatments and Joan Miró’s bold abstraction inspired Christian Francis Roth’s spring 1991 runway collection, which was shown at FIT. The New York Times called out his “pastiche” dresses, like this one, as highlights of the collection, writing, “They are jewels of the dressmaker’s art. Each one is an instant collector’s item.”
