1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Girolée is a 1951 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, flowing dress with a deep V-neck and fitted waist. The skirt flares out slightly, and her hands rest in the pockets. The lines are loose but confident, with some shading to suggest fabric folds. The word *Girolée* is scrawled in the corner—maybe the dress’s name. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to capture the shape without detail. 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.
