1960
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Cigogne is a 1960 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a draped neckline, standing sideways. Her hair is pulled up, and she has one arm bent at the elbow. Next to her is a quick, stick-figure-like drawing of the same dress from the front, showing the neckline and waistline. The artist used loose, quick lines to capture the shape and movement of the dress. The sketch feels like a fast, rough draft rather than a polished drawing. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading 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.
