1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Orfèvre is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a simple, side-view drawing of a woman in a sleek dress. The outfit has a fitted top and flared skirt, with clean lines and minimal shading. The paper is light, and the ink is dark, keeping the whole image clean and easy to read. The artist signed it “Orfèvre,” which means “goldsmith” in French. That might hint at the dress’s polished, elegant look. If you like this style, check out womenswear from the 1930s for more inspiration.
