'Dune' is a 1949 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, belted dress with wide shoulders and a simple collar. The lines are bold and confident, almost like a quick sketch. The background is just a plain, light-colored paper with two small circles on the left side. The artist focused on the shape and movement of the clothing, not the details. The dress looks easy to wear but stylish, with clean lines and a relaxed fit. If you like this style, look up womenswear from the 1940s to see how fashion changed after World War II.
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.
