1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Fleur bleue is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Flower, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman wearing a loose, sleeveless top and a long, flowing blue dress with dark lines down the front. Her hair is pulled back under a wide-brimmed hat, and she’s standing with one hand on her hip. The dress has splashes of lighter blue near the hem, and the whole drawing is done in quick, sketchy lines. The title *Fleur bleue* is written in the corner—it means "blue flower" in French. The dress’s color and shape might hint at that idea, even though no actual flowers are drawn. Next, look up 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.
