Fretillante is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Gold, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a high collar and long, flowing skirt. She’s standing with one hand on her hip, wearing dark stockings and low-heeled shoes. Next to her is a small swatch of the same black fabric, marked with a tiny gold design. The name *Fretillante* is written at the top, and the studio’s address in Paris is signed at the bottom. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, lively feel. If you like this style, check out the technique: cross-hatching.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
