Specialist note

‘The Burnous of Morocco, a cloak that is proof against heat and cold, worn everywhere by the arabs. This Paris version, designed by Jean Dessès and flown to Morocco, was worn by Lisa Fonssagrives Penn at La Bahia Palace in Marrakech. On the low table a pot of mint tea.’ Irving Penn
