1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Chaîne d'or is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Gold, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with one arm raised and the other outstretched. Her dress has a loose, abstract pattern of small shapes that look like flowers or leaves. The lines are light and quick, giving the drawing a loose, almost handwritten feel. The title *Chaîne d’or* (which means "gold chain" in French) hints that the floral pattern might be inspired by something shiny or precious. The way the dress moves with her body makes it feel light and free. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven for more of her work.
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.
