'Copenhague' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, long-sleeved dress with a belt at the waist. The jacket has big pockets and buttons down the front. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing sideways, one arm bent behind her. The artist signed it “Copenhague” in the corner—maybe a nickname or the dress’s name. The lines are simple but confident, with quick watercolor shading to show folds in the fabric. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist behind this drawing.
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.
