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.

These original fashion drawings are from the early 1960s when Goma had his own couture house in Paris. They are done in pencil on drawing paper. They have strong styling elements featuring suit ensembles. Note the styling of the short jackets and the detailing of the collars, buttons, sash, etc. Note too, Goma’s playful styling with his gesturing, hair creations, and jewelry accessories. Of course, the gloves finish the look! These designs have classic mid-century styling. The drawings make a superb wall grouping and are perfect for today’s fashionista.
