Ménès is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress and matching jacket. The dress has a fitted waist and a flared skirt, with three visible buttons down the front. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one foot slightly in front of the other. The drawing includes a small back-view sketch of the same outfit, showing its clean lines. The artist’s loose, confident strokes focus on the dress’s shape and fabric folds. Check out Marie-Louise Carven for more work like this.
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.
