Naos is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple but stylish outfit. She’s wearing a light blue jacket with short sleeves and a matching skirt, paired with low-heeled shoes. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. To the right, there’s a quick sketch of the jacket’s back view, showing the button closure. The jacket’s fabric looks textured, almost like a woven pattern. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture the shape and movement of the clothes. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture 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.
