'Galop' 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 loose, flowing dress with splashes of purple, yellow, and black. Her arms are bent at the elbows, and her legs are stretched apart as if she’s mid-motion. The lines are quick and simple, almost like a quick sketch. The title *Galop* hints this might be about movement—like a horse’s gallop or a dancer’s step. The dress looks like something from the mid-20th century, with a relaxed fit that was popular then. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
