Basque c. 1937

"Basque" is a fashion design by Melita Hofmann, created around 1937. The watercolor drawing showcases a purple, fitted bodice with a high collar and a row of buttons. It features a detailed sketch of a woman's back with a flowing skirt, suggesting a dress design. Hofmann's work often explored the details of clothing and its construction, creating a visual dialogue between the fashion design and the human body.
