1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Armide is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with a square neckline and long, flowing sleeves. The skirt is long and flared, giving it a dramatic shape. The woman’s pose is confident, with one hand resting on her hip. The sketch is labeled "Armide" and notes the fabric as "double satin rouge." The loose, sketchy lines suggest it was drawn quickly, focusing on the dress’s shape over details. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion designs.
