1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Coquelicot is a 1956 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 simple red dress with short sleeves and a fitted waist. The dress flares slightly at the bottom, and the fabric looks smooth but not detailed. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands against a plain background. The name "Coquelicot" is written in the corner—it might mean something about the dress or the artist’s style. The loose, quick lines suggest this was drawn fast, maybe as a quick idea rather than a finished piece. 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.
