1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Cèdre is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Button, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark outfit with wide-legged pants and a high collar. She’s holding a rolled-up paper or stick in one hand, looking stylish but a little awkward. Off to the side, there’s a quick sketch of a man in a suit and a small drawing of a dress with a belt. The woman’s outfit looks simple but bold—no frills, just clean lines. The artist used quick, confident strokes, leaving some areas like the pants and collar lightly shaded. If you like this sketchy style, try looking up cross-hatching.
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.
