1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
'Gisèle' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a wide skirt and layers of ruffles at the bottom. Her sleeves are tight and end in pointed cuffs, and she wears a hat with a veil. The background is just loose brushstrokes of brown and beige, keeping the focus on her outfit. The name "Gisèle" is written in the corner—likely the title of this drawing. The loose, quick lines make the sketch feel dynamic, even though it’s just ink and watercolor. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her fashion-inspired art.
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.
