1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Flore is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. The fabric looks painted in soft, warm colors—yellows, greens, and browns—while the bodice is drawn in simple lines. Her arms are outstretched slightly, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The name *Flore* is written in the corner, maybe the dress’s name or the model’s. The lines on the bodice suggest quick, confident strokes—no tiny details, just shapes and movement. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her loose, expressive drawings.
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.
