Champollion is a 1959 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 beige outfit. She’s wearing a short jacket with big pockets and a matching skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s holding a long cane in one hand while her other hand rests on her hip. The sketch includes a flat, back-view drawing of the same outfit on the right side. The lines are bold and confident, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see 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.
