1963
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Seigle is a 1963 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Necktie, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, dressed in a simple beige outfit with a short jacket and a skirt that hits just above her knees. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing small earrings. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a light, almost floating feel. The artist focused on the shape of the clothes and the way the body moves, leaving out extra details. The sketch feels like a quick note of how someone looks, not a finished portrait. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build form 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.
