Néfertiti is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Fastener, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long red dress with a floral pattern near the hem. She’s wearing a headpiece and black heels, and her dress has thin straps. To the right, there’s a tiny drawing of a mannequin in a simple outfit. The name *Néfertiti* is written in the corner, but this isn’t the famous ancient queen—it’s a modern fashion sketch. The artist used loose, quick lines to capture the dress’s shape. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion drawings.
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.
