1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Bosphore is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a simple, tall figure wearing a long dress with a geometric pattern of black shapes on a light background. The dress has a high neckline and long sleeves, with a slight A-line shape that flares out at the knees. The figure stands straight, with one hand resting near the hip and the other hand loose at the side. The title *Bosphore* is written in the corner, and the drawing looks quick and loose, like it was done in one go. The pattern on the dress is made up of repeated diamond shapes, giving it a bold but clean look. If you like this style of fashion drawing, look up womenswear in the 1930s.
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.
