1963
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Croix de Noailles is a 1963 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 long, flowing red dress with a dark plaid pattern. The dress has a high collar and wide sleeves, giving it a dramatic shape. The fabric looks soft and slightly see-through in spots, with quick, sketchy lines marking the folds. The artist used loose, confident strokes—some areas are filled with tiny dots or lines to add shadow. The handwriting in the corner says "Croix de Noailles," which might be the dress’s name.
