1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Gilles is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The painting depicts a woman in a white dress with black polka dots, standing in front of a white background. She is wearing black gloves and white heels, and has short brown hair. The dress is long-sleeved and has a high neckline, with a belt around the waist. The woman is facing to the right, with her left hand on her hip and her right arm extended behind her. The painting is a drawing, with bold lines and simple shapes. The woman's face is not detailed, but her body language conveys a sense of confidence and poise. The background is plain white, which helps to focus attention on the woman and her dress. The painting is a great example of fashion illustration, and it would be interesting to learn more about the artist, Marie-Louise Carven, and her work in this field.
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.
