1963
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Grand gala is a 1963 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, flowing dress with a high collar and a bow at the neckline. Her hair is neatly pulled back under a hat, and the dress flares out slightly at the bottom. In the corner, there’s a quick sketch of another dress, also with a high neck. The drawing is loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. The lines are simple but capture the shape of the clothes well. Check out womenswear from the 1900s to see how styles like this changed over time.
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.
