1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Java is a 1956 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 dark, fitted suit with a high waist and long sleeves. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing simple earrings and low heels. The suit has a few buttons on the chest and a slight flare at the bottom. The lines are loose but confident, and the background is just a plain, light color. The name *Java* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the suit’s name or where it was inspired from. The drawing feels quick, like a sketch for a fashion design rather than a finished portrait. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
