'Genève' is a 1949 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, loose dress with a checkered pattern. The dress has a high collar and buttons down the front, with a belted waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one arm slightly raised. The drawing uses light pencil strokes to show the fabric’s folds and texture. The name "Genève" is written in the corner, likely the dress’s design name. 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.
