Sirocco is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a light-colored suit with a notched lapel and pleated pants. She’s holding a cigarette in one hand while her other hand rests on her hip. Next to her is a flat drawing of the same outfit, showing the front view. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture the outfit’s shape and movement. The cigarette adds a small but interesting detail—it hints at a moment frozen in time. If you like this style, check out more by the artist Marie-Louise Carven.
