Afternoon is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Button, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with long, vertical rows of tiny white dots down the front. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s holding a small object near her chest. The background is plain, so the focus stays on her outfit and pose. The white dots look like buttons or embroidery, and the title hints they might be made of crystal. The artist’s name, *Madeleine & Madeleine*, is signed in the corner. Look up embroidery to see how artists used stitching in fashion sketches like this.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
