Alberta is a 1962 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with long sleeves and a high slit. She’s wearing a matching black hat and pointed shoes. The dress has a bold white design down the front, almost like a zipper or braid. The artist used quick, confident lines to draw the outfit, leaving some areas like the face and hands sketchy. The name *Alberta* is written in the corner, but we don’t know who she is. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
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.
