1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Cassandre is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple pose, standing sideways. She wears a short jacket with a floral pattern, a matching skirt, and low heels. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds her jacket closed with one hand. The lines are loose but confident, with quick brushstrokes for the fabric. The sketch looks like a quick study of clothing, focusing on shapes and patterns rather than detail. The name "Cassandre" is written in the corner, which might be the model or a reference. Check out womenswear from the 1930s for more designs like this.
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.
