Rare vintage 1980s short sleeve button down by designer Rico Casey. Features an abstract geometric print in bold red and speckled black on a white rayon body. Finished with a classic loop collar (camp collar) for that true 80s resort and artwear look. The back features a large signed graphic, part of Casey’s limited edition hand-signed series. Each piece was produced in small batches, individually numbered, and intended as wearable art.
Rico Casey was an independent textile artist and designer active during the late 70s and 80s, creating limited runs of hand-designed rayon garments often sold in boutique resort shops and galleries. His modernist, Memphis-inspired graphics make surviving pieces highly sought after by collectors of 80s artwear and vintage fashion.
