1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Gavotte is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple pose, one arm bent at the elbow. She’s wearing a light blue dress with small yellow dots scattered across it. The dress has a fitted top with a deep V-neck and a flared skirt that stops just above her ankles. The handwriting in the corner says "Gavotte," which might be the name of the drawing or the outfit. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes for the dress and softer shading for the skin and arms. 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.
