1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Iris is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, purple dress with a flared skirt. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat and low-heeled shoes, one hand resting on her hip. The lines are simple but confident, with soft shading for the fabric folds. The name *Iris* is scrawled at the top, and the artist signed it *colette R.*—likely a nickname or shorthand. The drawing feels quick, like a first idea rather than a finished work. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
