Ludmilla is a 1956 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in long, flowing wedding dresses. The dresses are light gray with strapless tops and voluminous skirts that flare out at the bottom. One dress has a bow at the waist, while the other has a bow at the hem. The artist used loose, quick lines and soft shading to suggest fabric and movement. The name *Ludmilla* is written in the top corner, which might be the dressmaker or the model. The style looks like early 20th-century bridal fashion, with a mix of simplicity and drama. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
