Faisanne is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Necktie, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit: a short-sleeve top with a bow tie at the neck, paired with a long, flared skirt. The fabric looks like it has a checkered pattern in shades of blue and white. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip and the other loose at her side. The name *Faisanne* is written at the top, likely the dress’s design name. The loose, quick lines suggest this was drawn fast—maybe for a fashion sketchbook. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
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.
