A rectangular textile fragment displaying three bold vertical color blocks in equal proportions. The leftmost section is deep black, the center is a vibrant coral-red, and the rightmost is an intense hot pink. The fabric appears to be a plain weave silk with a smooth, lustrous surface that reflects light evenly across each color section. The edges show clean cuts suggesting this is a sample or fragment from a larger piece. The color transitions are sharp and precise, indicating machine weaving with distinct warp or weft color changes. This represents late 1990s commercial textile design for Shanghai Tang, reflecting the brand's approach to bold, contemporary interpretations of color blocking that would become characteristic of early 2000s fashion sensibilities.
