1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Cytise is a 1956 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, knee-length dress with a deep V-neck. The dress is black with bright yellow-green flowers scattered across it. She wears a wide-brimmed hat and holds a small bag in one hand. The lines are quick and confident, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The word "Cytise" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s name. The sketch looks like a quick study for a real garment—maybe something someone would wear out in the city.
