1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Lionne is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing yellow dress with a draped bustier top. Her hair is styled neatly, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The dress has a loose, wavy pattern, and the skirt flares out at the bottom. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold outlines and watercolor washes. The artist’s handwriting in the corner says *"Lionne 68"*, which might hint at the dress’s name or design number. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
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.
