'Marjorie' is a 1951 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, checkered dress with short sleeves and a belt. Her pose is relaxed—one hand rests on her hip, the other near her face. The lines are simple and quick, with light shading to show folds in the fabric. The name "Marjorie" is scrawled in the corner, maybe the model’s or the outfit’s. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a finished piece. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see 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.
