1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Clématite is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a dark blue dress with a long, flowing skirt and puffed sleeves. She’s wearing gloves, a hat, and holding a small object in her right hand. The lines are loose and confident, with quick brushstrokes that catch the fabric’s movement. The title *Clématite* (French for clematis) might hint at the dress’s delicate, vine-like folds. The sketch feels like a quick study—maybe for a fashion design or a costume sketch. Next, 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.
