Païva is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Flower, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing black dress with a draped skirt. The bodice has a lace trim in silver, and three red flowers are sewn down the front. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing simple high heels. The handwritten notes call it a *robe de style*—a fancy dress—with "silver lace and black fabric." The sketch looks like it was drawn quickly, with loose lines and shading. Next, look up Madeleine & Madeleine to see more of their fashion sketches.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
