Fashion Sketches

Among the types of documents present in CNMI archive there are the stylized drawings of the garments presented by fashion houses participating in the spring/summer and autumn/winter fashion shows. 

These are the trend sketches that were included in the documentation distributed to the public during fashion shows and that anticipated the models published later in the press photo shoots. 

Sometimes on the back of the sketch there is a brief description of the garment translated into several languages ​​that indicates for example the colors and materials with which it was made.
