1949

Dominant colour
'Framboise' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, red coat with wide lapels and big pockets. The coat is loose but structured, with a slight flare at the bottom. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s walking with one hand in her pocket. The lines are bold and simple, with quick brushstrokes for the fabric. The name *"Framboise"* (which means "raspberry" in French) is signed in the corner, hinting at the color of the coat. The drawing looks like a quick sketch for a fashion design. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her bold, stylish 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.
