Dominant colour
Daïla is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a deep neckline and flared skirt. Her hair is pulled up, and she’s walking with one arm raised. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the dress’s back view. The lines are bold and confident, with quick brushstrokes for shading. The sketch includes a tiny signature in the corner: *"Daïla - 96."* The date might hint at the year, but the rest is just a fashion drawing—no extra details. The dress looks easy to move in, with a fitted waist and flowing fabric. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her clean, modern designs.
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.
