1960
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Gélinotte is a 1960 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 sleek black dress with a high neckline and a row of white dots down the front. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the same dress from behind, showing its straight, narrow cut. The artist’s loose, quick lines give the drawing a lively feel, almost like a fashion sketch. The white dots on the dress stand out against the dark fabric, adding a small but striking detail. If you like this style, look up womenswear to see how fashion and art have crossed paths.
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.
