1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Zerline 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 sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and a long, flared skirt. The dress has a dotted pattern on the bodice and sleeves, and the woman’s pose is confident, with one hand resting on her hip. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears simple jewelry. The artist used quick, loose strokes to suggest fabric and movement. The name "Zerline" is written in the corner, likely the dress’s name. 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.
