Cléo is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing red dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s standing with one arm outstretched. The dress has a simple neckline and short sleeves, giving it a clean, elegant look. In the corner, there’s a smaller drawing of the dress’s back view, showing how it fastens. The artist used loose, quick lines to capture the movement of the fabric. The red stands out against the light background, making the dress look even more dynamic. Want to see more by this artist?
