Goma learned dress … more This is an unusually large matted original fashion drawing by the famed French haute couturier, Michel Goma. Goma learned dress making at a young age in his home town of Montpellier, France and moved to Paris in 1951 where he started to sell his fashion sketches at the age of 19. He worked for Jeanne Lafaurie and eventually bought the company to establish his haute couture house in his name. However, this lasted only a few years. In 1965 he left to join the House of Patou where he worked for many years. In 1987 he took helm of House of Balenciaga where he is best known for his prêt-â-porter (ready to wear) collections. This original fashion drawing is from the early 1960s when Goma had his own couture house in Paris. It is done in pen and ink on fine drawing paper. It features a 2 piece belted, floor length evening design. Note the skirted hemline style, the belted bow tie at the waistline, and the oversized open collar. The design has strong graphic styling elements and shows a bit of fun, flair, and pizzazz. Goma always adds extra style with accessories in his hats, gloves, facial details, poses, etc. This fashion drawing measures 9.75 x 16.5 inches in size. This is unusually large for fashion drawings and, as such, makes a real impact as wall decor! Comes custom matted in a white tone 16 x 20 inch mat ready for standard size frame. Please allow time for custom matting. See companion drawings in our shop. less
