Domino 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 sleek 1920s dress—black stockings, a white top with swirling embroidery, and a long black skirt. Her hair is short and neat, and she holds a folded black fabric in one hand. A small swatch of white and black fabric is pinned to the top left corner of the page. The handwritten notes describe the outfit in French, including terms like *velours blanc* (white velvet) and *brodé noir* (black embroidery). The artist’s signature, *Madeleine & Madeleine*, is scrawled in the corner. Look up velour to see how this fabric was used in fashion.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
