The print is by Dave Baby, the London illustrator and club personality whose graphic line ran through some of the most distinctive printed garments of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leotard is built on a cotton jersey base; a separate skirt panel has been pinned to the body of the leotard with safety pins as part of the original styling — a deliberate construction continuing the punk-era language of pinned, distressed, accreted dress into the Camden and Soho club scene. The overshirt is built in silk and satin, screen-printed in the Dave Baby print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA John Crancher \/ Dave Baby printed garment was featured on Mark Moore on the cover of \u003ci\u003eCity Limits\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
