'Anick' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a checkered pattern. She’s standing near a railing with a row of small lights behind her. The dress has wide sleeves and a high collar, and she’s wearing black gloves. The sketch is loose and quick, with some areas blurred for movement. The artist signed it “Anick” in the corner—likely a nickname for the woman. The dress style looks like something from the early 1950s, with a mix of elegance and simplicity.

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.
