Despite the constant reproduction of this image on blogs and online shops, no record seems to exist of the artist's name. But the reason for its popularity is clear: the image is bold, striking, and transfixing. The woman alone is a vision with her angular face and long eyelashes—and the Ankara fabric she wears simply adds to her allure. The repetition of pattern in the text below further references Pan Am's groovier 1960s aesthetic.
