1949
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
'Banquets' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing purple dress with a fitted bodice and a wide skirt. Her arms are raised, holding a fan or small object, and the skirt has delicate white flowers with green stems scattered across it. The lines are loose and expressive, with quick brushstrokes that give the dress movement. The artist’s signature, "Carven," is signed in the corner, hinting at a focus on fashion and elegance. The flowers on the skirt add a touch of nature to the otherwise smooth fabric. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven next.
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.
