1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Alouette is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, blue dress with a deep V-neck and short sleeves. The fabric looks textured, with faint lines running through it. Her hands rest on her hips, and she stands confidently in simple black heels. The name *Alouette* is written in the top corner—likely the dress’s design name. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show folds and shadows without much detail. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture 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.
