Dominant colour
Beryl is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, pink gown with a floral pattern down the side. The dress has thin straps and a bow at the waist. Next to her is a sketch of the same dress, but flat and without color. The artist used quick, loose lines to show the fabric’s flow. The pink stands out against the plain background, making the dress look light and airy. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
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.
