1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
'Enamorada' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with wide purple and white stripes on the top half. The skirt flares out dramatically, almost like a fan, with layers of fabric trailing behind her. She holds a long, narrow fan in one hand and rests the other lightly on her hip. The title *Enamorada* (which means "in love" in Spanish) hints at a mood of romance or passion, though the face stays calm and slightly turned away. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, lively feel—like a glimpse of movement frozen in time. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her bold, stylish 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.
