Dominant colour
Port Royal is a 1962 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a simple black-and-white drawing of a woman in a long, flowing dress. The dress has a high neckline with a floral pattern on the chest, and the skirt flares out dramatically. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The sketch looks like it was done quickly, with bold lines and minimal shading. The focus is on the dress’s shape and movement, not details. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
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.
