1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Fougères is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing black dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, billowy skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a small yellow earring. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and shading that give the dress texture. The name "Fougères" is written in the corner—likely the dress’s design name. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion house or a client. Check out 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.
