1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Gaieté is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image depicts a woman wearing a striped dress with her hands on her hips. The dress features a V-neckline and short sleeves, with a full skirt that falls just below the knee. The woman's hair is styled in a short bob, and she wears white gloves and heels. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication, as if the woman is posing for a fashion photograph. The drawing is a charming example of mid-century fashion illustration, and it would be interesting to explore more of Marie-Louise Carven's 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.
