Notes
Source identifier: 24311a (Hades Legacy Identifier / Struc ID)
Content: Image includes a small sketch of the back of the garment. Note the gathers here at waist level above the belt.
Content: Double-breasted camel hair coat with huge pearl buttons. Note how the artist has used rub-on transfer screen to both indicate shadows and highlight the soft texture of the coat. The artist shows the coat's long belt loosely tied like a sash, and the sunglasses worn by the model are a nice touch, too. Could the "huge pearl buttons" be a playful reminder of the designer's name?
Content: Written on image: "Huge pearl buttons." "Designed by Pearl Alexander" "André 570 - 7th Ave. New York City Dec. 16, 1940"
Date: Illustration origninally bound in Spring, 1940-1941.
