Vierge is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Muslin, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with a draped shawl over her shoulders. The dress is white with blue patterns near the hem, and she’s standing sideways with one arm crossed. The background is plain, and the whole drawing is quick and sketchy. The artist signed it “Madeleine & Madeleine” and wrote notes about the dress—“Robe du soir” means evening dress in French. The fabric looks light, almost see-through. Look up muslin next to see how this kind of fabric was used in 1920s fashion.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
