Elegant and sophisticated styling. This is an original 1960’s watercolor fashion evening gown design created by a future couturier from the prestigious Academia Internazionale d’Alta Mode E D’Arte De Costume in Rome. The institute is one of the most prestigious international fashion design institutes in the world, graduating designers who go on to create for the most famous haute couture fashion houses. The Academia was founded in 1951 by Toni Alba Koefie who was first to revolutionize the fashion world with utilizing mannequins in fashion designing. This became known as the Koefia technique. Patterns which were first drawn were created directly on mannequins and were soon to be used in the big French fashion houses of Chanel, Dior, and Nina Ricci. This design was created by a graduating student from the Academia. Done with white and turquoise watercolor with contrasting black accents on strong hot pink artist stock color paper. The over sized turquoise hoop earrings are pure FUN and compliment the hoop design in the dress. Note too the turquoise ankle bracelet peeking out from the hemline! The dark hair and make-up are reminiscent of Mid-Century styling. This drawing is signed by the student fashion designer. The design is unusually large in size, 18 x 12.5 inches. Pristine and clean. This is a LARGE RARE original fashion design perfect for today's fashionista or collector. less
