1963
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Fol essor is a 1963 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Polka Dot, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman walking with long, smooth legs and pointed purple shoes. She wears a dark blue dress covered in tiny purple dots, a matching hat, and carries a bouquet of two pink flowers in one hand. The lines are clean and simple, with no extra details. The dress’s polka dots are small and evenly spaced, giving it a modern, almost geometric look. The woman’s pose is confident, with her head slightly tilted and one hand resting lightly on her hip. Next, look up polka dot to see how this simple pattern has appeared in fashion over time.
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.
