1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Cannes 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, loose drawing of a woman in a long coat. The coat is straight and wide, with a high collar and buttons down the front. Her hands are tucked into the pockets, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The lines are quick and light, almost like a quick note rather than a finished picture. The name *Cannes* is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means here. The drawing feels more like a fashion idea than a portrait—just a way to show how the coat would look on a person.

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.
