1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Aumale is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The fabric has a subtle pattern of small, swirling lines. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one leg slightly in front of the other. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes that give it a sketchy, unfinished look. The word "Aumale" is written in the corner, possibly the name of the design or the person it was made for. Look up 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.
