'Bottio' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This quick sketch shows a woman leaning against a pole. She’s wearing a long coat with buttons down the front and a hat pulled low. The lines are loose and confident, almost like a quick note rather than a finished drawing. The artist signed it “Bottio” in the corner, which might be a nickname or a play on words. The style feels modern for its time, with simple shapes and bold strokes. If you like this sketchy style, look into cross-hatching next.
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.
