1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Anémone is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a bright red dress with a fitted bodice and a flared, tiered skirt. Her pose is relaxed, one arm resting at her side and the other slightly bent. The dress has clean lines, and the artist used quick, confident strokes to suggest fabric folds. The name *Anémone* is written at the top, which might hint at the dress’s shape or the artist’s creative process. The drawing feels loose but precise, capturing movement without heavy detail. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
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.
