1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Coconas is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a loose, blue plaid suit with a matching jacket and pants. Her pose is relaxed—one hand rests on her hip, the other hangs by her side. The lines are simple, and the colors are mostly flat, with just a few quick strokes for shading. The name *Coconas* is scrawled in the corner, likely the model or a code for the outfit. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion design. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
