Claridge is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Locket, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman from behind, wearing a long dress with a high collar and puffy sleeves. The dress has a shiny, patterned design on the front, and the skirt falls in soft folds. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a big bow on top. The artist labeled parts of the dress—like "velours," "mousseline," and "brodée"—which means velvet, muslin, and embroidered. The drawing looks like a fashion sketch, showing off the fabrics and style. Look up velvet to see how it was used in 1920s clothing.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
