Averse is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark coat with thick buttons down the front. She holds a small object in her right hand, and her left hand rests on her hip. Next to her is a simpler drawing of the same coat without sleeves. The coat’s bold lines and lack of background focus all attention on the fabric’s texture. The sketch feels quick, like a fashion idea captured in a hurry. If you like how clothes are drawn, look up womenswear.
