1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Coccinelle is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Sleeveles, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman walking sideways, wearing a simple dress with red and green polka dots. Her dress has short sleeves and a flared skirt, paired with low-heeled shoes. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a sketchy, unfinished feel. The name "Coccinelle" is written in the corner—it might mean "ladybug" in French, hinting at the dress’s bright spots. The drawing looks like it was made fast, almost like a quick fashion note. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
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.
