About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a deep V-neck and a full skirt. The skirt has a bold, swirling pattern in dark green and black. She’s standing confidently with one hand on her hip, wearing simple black heels and a small hat. The name *Caméléone* is written at the top, hinting at a dress that changes or shifts in appearance. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, lively feel. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion-forward work.
