1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Coppelia is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a loose white dress with a high neckline and puffy sleeves. Her skirt is wide and flowing, tied at the waist with a big bow, and she’s wearing ballet slippers. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes that make the fabric look soft. The name *Coppelia* suggests this might be for a ballet costume—maybe inspired by the character from the ballet *Coppélia*. The sketch feels like a quick study, almost like a fashion drawing. 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.
