1963
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Fusée is a 1963 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Belt, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a person standing sideways, wearing a long dress with a draped shawl over the shoulders. The shawl is tied at the waist with a belt, and the sleeves of the dress are slightly puffy at the shoulders. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The artist signed it "Fusée" and "Carven" in the corners, hinting at a fashion-inspired drawing. The shawl collar and belt are simple but stylish details that stand out. Next, look up shawl to see how this garment has changed 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.
