Mystere is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Headscarf, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, sleek black dress with silver patterns. Her arms are stretched out, holding a sheer veil that flows behind her. The dress fits tight at the waist and flares slightly at the bottom, while her hair is short and styled neatly. The artist signed it "Madeleine & Madeleine" in the corner. The address at the bottom suggests it might be connected to a Parisian shop. Look up voile 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.
