1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Polka 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 long, light blue gown with a fitted bodice and a wide skirt. Her arms are outstretched, and the dress has a simple bow at the waist. Next to her is a smaller drawing of a dress with a fan-like neckline and long sleeves. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture the shape and movement of the clothes. The blue is soft and flat, with no shading. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth 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.
