1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Corail is a 1956 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 simple, loose dress with short sleeves. The dress is orange-brown with a few black dots near the collar and pockets. She’s standing sideways, one hand resting on her head, the other dangling at her side. The word *Corail* (French for coral) is written in the corner—maybe the dress color was meant to match that. The drawing is quick and rough, like a quick idea jotted down. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shapes 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.
