1960
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Girouette is a 1960 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, dark dress with a fitted waist and horizontal lines running down the skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one leg slightly forward. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the same dress, showing its shape without color. The name *Girouette* is written in the corner, and the dress looks like it could spin easily—maybe that’s where the title comes from. The sketch feels quick and loose, like a first idea for a design. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her 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.
