Dominant colour
Ivoire is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Ivory, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleek dress with short sleeves and a flared skirt. She’s holding a small folded item in one hand and has a neat updo. The dress has a subtle pattern near the hem, and she’s wearing pointed high heels. Next to her is a flat drawing of the same dress, showing its shape without fabric. The artist used clean lines and soft shading to keep it looking modern and easy. The sketch feels like a quick but careful study of how the dress moves. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more of her work.
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.
