Dominant colour
Philo is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with a deep V-neck and three-quarter sleeves, while the skirt flares out in soft folds. Tiny white dots cover the dress, giving it texture without heavy detail. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes that keep it airy. The artist signed it "Philo" in the corner. If you like this style, look up stippling 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.
