1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Argonaute is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a dark top and a skirt speckled with tiny marks. She’s wearing black gloves and holding a small object near her face. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft watercolor shading. The title *Argonaute* hints at a connection to a ship or adventure—maybe the dress was designed for something special. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a finished work. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion drawings.
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.
