1949
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
'Gros cailloux' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose coat with a checkered pattern. She’s holding a cane in one hand and a light scarf over her shoulder. The lines are simple but confident, with quick brushstrokes for the coat and scarf. The artist’s signature in the corner reads *Marie-Louise Carven*, and the drawing looks like a quick study of fashion. The checkered fabric and flowing lines give it a relaxed, modern feel. Next, check out womenswear from the 1920s to see how clothing styles evolved.
