Vincente Minnelli American

Not on view

Drawing, designs for women's costumes, part of a group of 88 costume designs by Vincente Minnelli. The costume design on the recto consists of a long, figure-hugging, high-waisted burgundy gown with short, wide, gold sleeves, worn with a gold and burgundy head wrap, golden hoop earrings, and golden bracelets. The design on the verso seems to be an unfinished sketch of the same costume, presenting a short-sleeved, V-neck, figure-hugging, long gown worn with a head wrap.
