1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Alizé is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing gown. The dress has a fitted top with beaded details and long sleeves, while the skirt flares out dramatically. The lines are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The name "Alizé" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s design name. The artist used simple strokes to suggest fabric and movement. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
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.
