Tossa is a 1964 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in simple, sleek swimsuits. One wears a black one-piece with a red trim on the waist, a flower crown, and a red bow at her neck. The other is drawn in outline only, with a bow in her hair. Both have clean, minimal lines and a loose, quick style. The artist signed it "Tossa" in the corner. The swimsuits look like they’re from the mid-20th century, with a focus on shape and fabric over detail. Check out Carven to see more of their bold, functional designs.
