1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Manon is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress. The dress has a square neckline and a fitted bodice with buttons down the front. The skirt flares out slightly, and the fabric looks light and airy. The woman stands with one foot slightly ahead, giving a sense of movement. The artist used loose, quick lines to suggest fabric texture and shadows. The dress has a subtle pattern, almost like brushstrokes blending together. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading 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.
