1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Lianes is a 1952 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 long, striped dress with a deep V-neck and flared skirt. Her arms are outstretched, as if she’s mid-movement, and the lines of the dress follow her body closely. The artist used quick, dark strokes to define the fabric, leaving the background plain. The name *Lianes* is scrawled in the corner—likely the dress’s design name. The sketch feels loose and energetic, like a quick study rather than a finished work. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build texture with lines.
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.
