Dominant colour
Airelles is a 1962 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, brown dress with a deep V-neck and a flared skirt. The dress has a belt at the waist, and the fabric looks textured with small marks. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and the whole sketch is done in loose, quick lines. The title *Airelles* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the dress’s name. The artist used tiny dots and lines to suggest fabric texture. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading like this.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
