1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Autocar is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a dark blue outfit with a belt and a cap. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and she stands confidently with one foot slightly ahead. The drawing is loose and quick, with simple lines and no extra details. The word *Autocar* is scrawled in the corner—maybe it’s a nickname for the outfit or a brand. The style looks like something from the early 1900s, but it’s hard to say for sure. If you like this sketch, look up womenswear to see how fashion was drawn in old fashion plates.
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.
