1960
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Fauvette is a 1960 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a square neckline and a short, fitted skirt. She’s holding a small purse in one hand, her hair pulled back neatly. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes that suggest movement. The artist signed it “Fauvette” in the corner, but this drawing isn’t flashy—just a sharp, simple take on fashion. The focus is all on the dress and the way the body moves. If you like this style, check out womenswear from the 1940s and 50s for more.
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.
