Mikado is a 1963 by Carven, depicting cape, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, long dress with a high neckline and short sleeves. The dress has a bold black cape that flares out behind her, adding drama to the simple black-and-white pattern. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she wears small earrings and heels. The cape’s sharp angle makes the dress look modern and dynamic, even though the rest of the outfit is clean and minimal. The artist used quick, confident lines to suggest fabric and movement. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
