1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Coralie 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 walking toward us. She’s wearing a loose, sleeveless dress with a big red-and-white floral pattern. A wide-brimmed hat with a red band sits on her head, and her arms swing naturally at her sides. The drawing is simple but full of movement—just a few quick lines capture her stride and the flow of her clothes. The colors pop against the plain background, making the outfit stand out. If you like this style, look up womenswear to see how fashion and art mix.
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.
