Mandragore is a 1956 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 simple, loose coat and dark pants, holding a small object in one hand. Her hair is short and neat, and she’s wearing low heels. The lines are quick and confident, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The name *Mandragore* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the outfit’s name or just a note. The drawing looks like it was done fast, almost like a fashion sketch. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven for more 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.
