Croquis Plate 45 Tanger.
Paris: BALMAIN, Pierre.
Ink, watercolor and gouache on xerograph. Fabric swatch stapled to the sheet. Sheet measures 12 1/8" x 8 1/2".
This original croquis from the designer Pierre Balmain was made from a xerograph of an original drawing, which was then hand-colored with ink, watercolor, and gouache. The design shows a belted knee length sweater. The appropriate fabric swatch, a striped beige knit, is 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. This example is in very good condition and makes a wonderful document for any lover of fashion.
