Silkis is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, knee-length dress with short sleeves and two side pockets. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears pointed shoes. The dress is drawn in soft gray and beige tones, with a small collar and clean lines. The artist included a side view of the dress to show its shape better. The handwriting in the corner says "Silkis," which might be the dress’s name. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
