1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Chimère is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, dramatic dress. The skirt is black with a wide, flared shape and a white ruffle at the bottom. She’s wearing black gloves and has one hand on her hip. The dress looks fancy, with a tight waist and soft folds. The name *Chimère* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the dress’s name or a nickname. The artist used bold black lines to outline everything, making the colors pop. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her bold fashion sketches.
