Croquis Plate 39 Saint-Honore
Paris: BALMAIN, Pierre.
Ink, watercolor and gouache on xerograph. Fabric swatches attached with staples. Sheet measures 12.25" x 8.25".
This original croquis from the designer Pierre Balmain was made from a xerograph of an original drawing circa 1960. The design shows a two-piece set with a voluminous blouse and a skirt. Swatches of the appropriate fabrics, a pin-striped navy voile and a coordinating navy and white wool, are stapled to the sheet. These sketches were produced in a limited quantity and presented to potential clients in attendance at the Paris Couture shows held by Balmain in the spring and fall of each year.
