1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Hélène is a 1956 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 draped bodice and wide sleeves. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand resting near her face. The lines are loose and quick, with soft shading in the dress and sleeves. The name *Hélène* is written in the corner, and the style looks simple but confident. The artist focused on shapes and movement, not details. 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.
