1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Etudiante is a 1956 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, striped shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a dark tie. She’s wearing a long, flared skirt and low-heeled shoes, with her hand resting on her hip. The lines are simple and confident, with quick shading to show folds in the fabric. The word *Etudiante* (French for "student") is written at the top, suggesting this might be a design for a student’s outfit. The sketch feels practical and stylish, like something you’d actually wear. If you like this style, look up womenswear from the 1930s–40s for more examples.
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.
