1963
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Chamonix is a 1963 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 sleek black dress with a high collar and long sleeves. She’s wearing a big, curly wig and pointed shoes. Her left hand rests on her hip, and she’s holding a small bag in her right hand. The dress has a simple but sharp design, with a small pocket on the front. The drawing is loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. The artist focused on the outfit’s shape and style over details. The small sketch in the corner looks like a simpler version of the same dress. Next, check out womenswear from the 1930s to see how styles like this were worn.
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.
