1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Sycomore is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a person in a simple, loose outfit—matching jacket and pants made of a checkered fabric. The lines are quick and clean, with just a few shadows to show shape. The person’s hair is drawn as a short, rounded cap, and their hands hang relaxed at their sides. The checkered pattern looks hand-drawn, almost like scribbled lines instead of neat squares. The whole drawing feels quick, like a first idea rather than a finished piece. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading 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.
