1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Colombe is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a white collar and cuffs. Her arms rest on her hips, and she’s wearing pointed black shoes. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes for the face and hands. The name *Colombe* is scrawled in the top corner—maybe the dress’s name or the model’s. The drawing feels loose but intentional, like a quick study for a fashion design. 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.
