1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Cornaline 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 in a long, flowing red dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her arms are crossed, and she holds a small object in her right hand. The dress has a tiered ruffle at the bottom, and the drawing is loose and quick, with watercolor shading. The name "Cornaline" is written at the top, which might relate to the red color of the dress. The artist used simple lines and light washes to suggest fabric and movement. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion-focused 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.
