They arrive with a life already woven into them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis extraordinary ALGO of Switzerland two-piece was given to me by its original owner, now aged 87, who wore it in her youth. Believed to date from the late 1960s or early 1970s, it has survived in astonishing condition and feels every bit as joyful today as it must have when it was first worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shirt is the real flourish: partly semi-sheer cotton scattered with multicoloured spots, vivid painterly flowers and raised white floral texture. Pink pearlised buttons, softly gathered cuffs and a generous pointed collar complete the design. The matching high-rise cropped trousers use the spotted fabric alone, allowing the remarkable shirt to take centre stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALGO was founded in Zurich in 1917 by Alexandre Goetschel and became known for beautifully tailored womenswear, exceptional fabrics and clothing designed to endure. This rare ensemble is a wonderful expression of that heritage. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA true collector’s piece, yet entirely wearable.
