1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Croquet is a 1953 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 loose, one-piece outfit with zigzag stripes. Her sleeves are rolled up, and she’s wearing tall heels. One hand rests on her hip, the other holds something small. The lines are quick and simple, with flat colors and no background. The outfit looks like a mix of a jacket and pants, with a relaxed fit. The stripes run in waves across the fabric, giving it texture without detail. If you like this style, check out womenswear from the 1930s.
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.
