'Fétiche' 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 long, flowing dress with bold patterns in deep blues and browns. Her arms are crossed loosely at the chest, and the fabric drapes in loose, uneven folds. The background is plain, letting the figure stand out clearly. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest movement and texture, especially in the dress. The signature reads "Marie-Louise Carven," matching the name in the facts. Look up 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.
