Scalamandre’s iconic
Zebra pattern dates to the 1930s, when it made its debut at the late, great
Gino’s restaurant on Lexington Avenue.
Though that establishment is gone, you can still catch a glimpse of the
pattern on a wall of the Sprinkles Cupcake Bakery that now occupies the spot. You can also find Zebras leaping
through dressing rooms at Kate Spade and Barneys. The original pattern was designed by Flora Scalamandre and
is available in a range of colorways, including the iconic red that Anthony
Haden-Guest described as "strawberry, a raw beefsteak, a Bloody Mary".
