1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Pépita is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted top and a huge, ruffled skirt. The dress has tiny dots scattered across it, and she’s wearing simple black heels. Her hair is pulled up in a neat bun, and one arm stretches out casually. The sketch includes a small pattern drawing of the dress’s front, showing how the dots are arranged. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost handwritten feel. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists use layers of lines to create texture.
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.
