Dominant colour
Valencia is a 1964 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Belt, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit: a sleeveless top, a green belt with a shiny buckle, and a short skirt. Her pose is relaxed, arms out to the sides, and she’s facing left. The lines are loose and quick, with just a few shadows to suggest shape. The belt’s bright green color stands out against the plain background. The sketch feels like it was drawn fast, maybe while the artist was thinking about fashion. Look up felt next to see how it’s used in clothing like this belt.
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.
