1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Brève rencontre is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, brown coat with big buttons down the front and a high collar. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears earrings. The coat flares at the bottom, and her hands are tucked into the pockets. In the corners, there are quick pencil drawings of two other outfits—one a simple dress, the other a jacket. The writing on the paper says *"Brève rencontre"* and *"blouse neuve,"* hinting this might be for a fashion design. The loose, confident lines make the coat look modern and easy to wear. 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.
