Hiéroglyphe is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a fitted dress with a wide, flared skirt. The dress has a simple strap top and a snug waist, with a pattern of short horizontal lines. Her hair is styled in a short, neat bob, and she stands confidently with one hand on her hip. The word *"Hiéroglyphe"* is written at the top, which might hint at the design’s name. The tiny sketch in the corner shows just the bodice and skirt shape, like a blueprint. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her bold fashion sketches.
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.
