'Fregate' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a dark blue dress with a fitted jacket and a flared skirt. Her pose is confident, with one hand on her hip and the other resting on her thigh. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and simple shading. The name *Fregate* is written in the corner, likely the dress’s design code. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion house. Check out Marie-Louise Carven next—she designed clothes like this in the 1950s.
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.
