Fumée d'opium is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Belt, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, dark dress with gold accents. The outfit has wide, draped shoulders and a high waist with a belt. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears long gloves and pointed shoes. The colors are mostly black and gold, with a few red touches. The artist wrote notes in French describing the outfit’s details, like gold embroidery and velvet lining. This was likely drawn to showcase a nighttime dress. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
