1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Lavallière is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a wide belt at the waist. The dress has a checkered pattern in shades of gray and white, with puffy sleeves and a slightly flared skirt. Her hair is short and neat, and she’s holding one arm out to the side. The name *Lavallière* is written in the corner—likely the dress style, not the woman’s name. The lines are quick and confident, focusing on shape over detail. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layered 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.
