Dominant colour
Wangtan is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark blue outfit. She’s wearing a matching jacket and skirt with a slight texture, and her hands rest in her pockets. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick note rather than a detailed drawing. In the corner, there’s a tiny sketch of the same woman from the back, just a few lines to show the shape of her dress. The artist focused on the outfit’s clean shapes and smooth fabric. The dark blue stands out against the light background, making the clothes look polished and easy to imagine in real life. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more work like this.
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.
