Loup is a 1962 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 loose, striped suit with a short jacket and a matching skirt. Her hair is pulled up into a bun, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The lines are simple and quick, with just a few strokes for shading and detail. The drawing looks like a quick study of a fashion design, focusing on the shape and fabric of the clothes. The artist kept it minimal, using light pencil strokes to show folds and texture. Try looking up womenswear to see how clothing styles have changed over time.
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.
