This is an original 1980's fashion design from a French designer, Drusy Passerini. Drusy was a “stylist modeliste” who designed for sportswear couturiers in Paris in the early 1980’s. Her designs were signed, named or numbered and all Drusy designs were registered in Parisian fashion registries. The sportswear designs were created and sold at the time in the fashion district in Paris in such houses as Patrick Viane and Saint-Clair. This design is for summer beach or cruise wear. It is done in pen and ink. The dress features a one shoulder, cropped top over a side slitted dress. It is described as a "maxi robe". Also note the hairstyle, bangle bracelets and sun glasses. Perfect for beach or cruise wear. It is playful and chic! The pen and ink drawing (with touches of watrcolor in the bangles) is done on fine white onion skin drawing paper, set on white drawing paper which is affixed to orange card stock. Purchased by us in Paris from a vendor who specializes in original fashion drawings. This is a real find as original beach wear fashion drawings are indeed rare! The drawing measures 8 x 11.5 inches. It is in clean, excellent, pristine condition consistent with ageand history. (There is a minor fold on extreme left edge, barely noticeable with the dynamic strong image.)
