Dominant colour
Agathe is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a side view of a person wearing a loose, sleeveless dress with a bold floral pattern. The fabric drapes simply, with one hand resting on the hip and the other near the chest. Next to the figure, there’s a small drawing of the dress alone, tied at the waist. The handwritten label says "Agathe" and has the number 81 in the corner. The lines are confident but quick, like a first draft. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her work.
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.
