Suzy is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Satin, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with long sleeves and a flared skirt. She’s standing sideways, one hand resting on her hip, wearing black heels. A small piece of black fabric is taped to the top left corner, like a swatch. The handwritten notes say “Suzy” at the top and “Robe d’après-midi en crèpe satin bleu” at the bottom—meaning it’s a sketch for an afternoon dress in blue satin crepe. Next, check out swatch, satin to see how fabric samples like this one were used in fashion design.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
