1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Clématite is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Pleating, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a dark blue dress with a fitted waist and flared skirt. The dress has a white collar and buttons down the front. She’s holding a cigarette in one hand and a small object in the other, with her hair pulled back neatly. The sketch is simple but captures the dress’s shape well, especially the way the skirt flares out. The name “Clématite” is written at the top, which might be the dress’s design name. If you like this style, look into sleeveless dresses from the mid-1900s.
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.
