1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Lys is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image presents a drawing of a woman wearing a dress, with the title "Lys" inscribed in the top-right corner. The woman is depicted from the waist up, facing forward, and is adorned with a hat, earrings, and high heels. Her dress features a high neckline, short sleeves, and a full skirt that falls just below the knee. The dress is fastened with buttons down the front and has a subtle sheen to it. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication, as if the woman is poised for a formal occasion. The drawing is held at the Museum of Ethnography, and its creator, Marie-Louise Carven, was known for her designs in womenswear.
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.
