EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricately designed waistcoat, created by Marie Mitchell in 1937, is a true testament to the fashion of its time. The close-up view allows us to appreciate the meticulous detail and craftsmanship that went into this piece. The waistcoat features a stunning brocade pattern in bright shades of red, adding an element of boldness and sophistication to any outfit it adorns. Its old-fashioned charm transports us back to the 1930s, a period known for its elegant style and attention to detail. Marie Mitchell's artistic talent shines through in this pencil drawing with watercolor gouache and graphite on paper. Her skillful use of color brings life to the textile, making it appear almost three-dimensional. As we examine this waistcoat further, we notice the carefully placed pockets that add both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Every aspect of this design has been thoughtfully considered. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington as part of their Index of American Design collection, this piece represents not only a moment in fashion history but also showcases America's rich cultural heritage. Whether viewed as an art lover or someone with an interest in fashion history, Marie Mitchell's waistcoat print captivates our imagination and reminds us of the timeless beauty found within clothing design throughout different eras.
