Frivole is a 1957 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 dress with a fitted bodice and a flared, checkered skirt. The dress has a square neckline and a bow at the waist. Next to her is a basic outline of the same dress from the back, showing the bodice’s seams. The word "Frivole" is written in the corner, which might hint at a playful or lighthearted style. The drawing looks like it was done quickly, with loose lines and shading. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture 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.
