1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
'Ma Griffe' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark green coat with big lapels and a belt tied around her waist. Her sleeves are puffy at the shoulders, and she’s wearing a hat tilted slightly to one side. The coat looks heavy, with a straight cut and no frills. The signature in the corner reads *Ma Griffe*—which means "my signature" in French. The artist, Marie-Louise Carven, used loose, confident lines to sketch the outfit. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion drawings.
