1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Perichole is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a long, fitted dress. The dress has a square neckline and a tie at the waist. It’s covered in small, scattered shapes that look like leaves or flowers. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s walking with one hand resting at her side. The drawing is loose and quick, like a sketch. The artist used light pencil strokes to show shadows and volume. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
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.
