Avondjapon van ALIX van dieproze en donkergroene zijden jersey 1938 - 1939

This fashion sketch depicts a striking evening gown, rendered in deep rose and dark green hues on paper. I can imagine Alix, the artist, lost in thought, pencil in hand, as she conjures this garment into being. The choice of color is so evocative, I wonder what Alix was thinking when she chose them. The deep rose, almost jewel-like, juxtaposed against the earthy green—it’s a bold combination, hinting at the drama and glamour of the wearer. I find myself drawn to the way the colors meet and dance around the figure. I admire how the sketch captures a sense of movement and fluidity, almost as if the fabric is in motion. It reminds me of other fashion designers, all sketching and dreaming up new forms. It’s like there is this never-ending exchange of ideas across time. Each designer inspires the other's creativity and embodies the ambiguity, leaving room for interpretation and new meanings.
