1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Croissant is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a simple, loose drawing of a woman in a sleek black dress. The dress has short sleeves and a round neckline, with tiny dots all over it. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing small earrings and low-heeled shoes. One hand rests on her hip, and the other hangs loosely. The name *Croissant* is written in the corner—maybe a nickname for the dress or the pose. The drawing looks quick, almost like a sketch for fashion. 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.
