1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Primevère is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a strapless gown with a fitted bodice and a wide, flowing skirt. The dress is drawn in loose, quick lines, with the fabric appearing soft and airy. The arms are positioned at the sides, and the skirt flares out dramatically. The name *Primevère* is written in the top-right corner, hinting at a possible inspiration or collection title. The sketch uses simple shading to suggest volume and movement in the fabric. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with layered 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.
