1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Vincennes 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 simple, flowing dress with green floral patterns on the bodice and skirt. The skirt is wide and flared, with clean lines that make it look light and airy. Two smaller drawings at the bottom show the dress from the front and back, with extra details like a collar and buttons. The artist used quick, loose lines to draw the fabric, making it look soft and easy to move in. The green floral shapes stand out against the plain background, giving the dress a fresh, natural look. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create texture and depth.
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.
