1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Champs-Elysées is a 1953 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 loose, knee-length plaid dress with a wide belt and a big hat. Her sleeves are long, and she’s standing with one hand on her hip. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes for the fabric and shadow. The label says *Champs-Elysées*, which might mean this was meant for a Parisian setting. The plaid pattern and hat style look like something from the mid-20th century. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see how her fashion sketches shaped style.
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.
