1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Sylvie is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The skirt has a pattern of diagonal lines, almost like a woven texture. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The name *Sylvie* is written in the corner, likely the dress’s model or design. The loose, sketchy lines make it feel quick and modern. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture 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.
