1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Bambou is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bamboo, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long, flowing dress. The dress has bold, dark lines crisscrossing over a lighter fabric, giving it a textured look. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and the skirt flares out slightly as she steps forward. The word *Bambou* is written in the corner, hinting at the dress’s name or maybe the hat’s material. The loose, sketchy lines make the drawing feel quick and lively, like it was drawn in one go. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build 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.
