Dominant colour
Dessin de collection de l'été 1951 is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with a wide skirt. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat and holding what looks like a cigarette holder. The dress has a few green and purple floral shapes near the hem, and the lines are loose and quick. The artist signed it "Bluette" in the corner—maybe a nickname or a style name. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a polished work. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
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.
