1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Lévite is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with short sleeves and a slight A-line shape. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one leg slightly forward, holding a small object near her chest. The lines are loose and quick, with just a few details filled in—like the dress’s texture and her shoes. The drawing feels more like a quick study than a finished piece. The artist used light pencil strokes to suggest form, leaving most of the page blank. 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.
