1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Vertugadin is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s walking with one hand on her hip. The dress has a high neckline and a slit up one side, showing her leg. The drawing is loose and quick, with thick black lines and some light shading. The small figure on the right shows the dress from the front, focusing on the bodice and skirt shape. The word "Vertugadin" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s name. Next, check out 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.
