- Camel's hair coat--double breasted.
- Description
-
- Image includes a small sketch of the back of the garment. Note the gathers here at waist level above the belt.
- 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?
- Written on image: "Huge pearl buttons." "Designed by Pearl Alexander" "André 570 - 7th Ave. New York City Dec. 16, 1940"
