Coup de vent 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 from the back, wearing a sleek black satin dress with a low back and long sleeves. The skirt flares into a cloud of turquoise tulle, embroidered with tiny silver flowers. Her hair is pulled up in a loose bun, and she’s wearing simple black shoes. The tiny fabric swatch in the corner matches the dress’s black satin—it’s labeled with the same words as the sketch. The notes describe the dress as "silver-embroidered marguerites" (that’s daisies) on tulle. Next, look up embroidery to see how tiny stitches like these turn fabric into art.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
