1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Castelnau is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress. The top is fitted with short sleeves, and the skirt is flared with a bold pattern of green and brown splashes. She’s walking with one hand on her hip, wearing low heels and simple jewelry. The artist signed it “Castelnau” in the corner, which might be a nickname or a design name. The loose, quick lines give it a lively, almost handwritten feel. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
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.
