1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Adam is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit: a short-sleeved blouse with a collar, a belted waist, and a knee-length skirt. Her hair is tucked under a small hat, and she’s wearing pointed shoes. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes for the fabric and body. The name *Adam* at the top is unusual for a drawing of a woman, but it’s all we’ve got. The sketch feels more like a quick fashion study than a posed portrait. Want to see more? Check out womenswear from the 1920s–30s for similar styles.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
