Cythare is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, loose coat with big pockets and a cap. Her sleeves are rolled up, and she’s wearing low heels. The lines are simple but confident, with a light touch for the face and darker strokes for the coat. The word *CYTARE* is scrawled in the corner—maybe a nickname or a sketch title. The artist focused on the shape of the clothes, not details. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see how she turned sketches like this into real fashion.
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.
