1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Départ is a 1952 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, flowing outfit with long sleeves and a belted waist. Her hair is short and neatly styled, and she’s holding something small in her right hand. The drawing is mostly in shades of gray, with quick, sketchy lines and some watercolor-like shading. The word *Départ* at the top hints this might mean “departure”—maybe she’s leaving or traveling. The clothes look simple but stylish, like something from the early 1950s. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
