Dolly is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Satin, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman from the back, holding a big white flower. She’s wearing a sleek black dress with a pink satin bow at the waist and matching pink trim on the shoulders. Her hair is short and red, and the dress flares out slightly at the bottom. The handwritten notes at the bottom name the outfit details—like "taffeta" and "satin"—which were fancy fabrics back then. The artist signed it "Madeleine & Madeleine," which is unusual. Check out Madeleine & Madeleine to see more of their bold, stylish work.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
