1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Cactus 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 simple, green dress with long sleeves and a belt. The dress is knee-length, with a slight A-line shape and small buttons on the chest and pocket. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing uses loose, quick lines—no details like wrinkles or facial features. The focus is on the dress’s shape and flow. Next, check out womenswear from the 1930s to see how styles like this fit into fashion history.
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.
