1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Espana is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a loose, pink dress that flows to the floor. Her hair is pulled back, and she has a small necklace and earrings. Next to her is a simple line drawing of the dress’s back view, showing how it fastens at the neck and waist. The dress’s wide skirt and simple lines suggest it’s meant for comfort or easy movement. The sketch feels quick, like a first idea rather than a finished design. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
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.
