Grand Nord is a 1962 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, stylish outfit. She’s wearing a beige dress with short sleeves and a fitted waist, paired with a small hat and pointed shoes. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip and the other holding a small object. The sketch uses light, confident lines to capture the shape of the clothing. The focus is on the clean, modern look of the dress—no extra details, just the basics. Next, check out womenswear from the 1950s to see how fashion like this was worn.
