Elsa Schiaparelli created this whimsical, modern avant-garde design showcasing “half dresses”, each with one arm hole, overlapping, and tied on one side like an apron! And the dress came in a choice of colors! Mediterranean coast fun! The print was illustrated by Carl Erickson, (known as “Eric”) who dominated the world of fashion illustration for most of the 20th century. Today he is best known for his work for French Vogue magazine and Coty Cosmetics. His works appear in the fashion archives of international museums. Eric's drawings are auctioned at leading auction houses worldwide and his work is highly collectible and for good reason. His illustrations are painterly; his impressionistic style create a textural, powdery quality. His drawings are bold, "alive" and elegant. His style is recognizable!
