1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Gri-gri is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with her arms raised. The lines are loose and quick, giving her movement even though it’s just a drawing. Her dress is drawn with simple shapes and shading, making it look light and airy. The name *Gri-gri* is scribbled in the corner, which might hint at something beyond just the drawing. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a bigger project. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build form 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.
