'Léopart' is a 1949 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 bold, stylized pose. She’s wearing a long coat with a leopard-print lapel and a wide-brimmed hat. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes that make the figure stand out against a plain background. The artist signed it *Léopart*—a playful twist on "leopard." The coat’s wild print contrasts with the clean, simple shape of the rest of the drawing. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her bold, graphic style.
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.
