A la hâte is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Embroidery, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, knee-length dress with short puffed sleeves. The dress is blue with thin beige stripes and small embroidered dots near the hem. She holds a small object in one hand, and her hair is pulled back neatly. In the top left corner, there’s a black fabric swatch, and in the bottom right, a smaller sketch of another woman in a similar dress. The handwritten notes label the dress as *"Petite robe serge bleue"* (small blue serge dress) and *"A la hâte"* (in a hurry), hinting at quick, everyday fashion. Look up twill weave next to see how this fabric’s texture works.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
