1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Madame Bovary is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a dark blue floral pattern. The dress has a draped top and a fitted waist, while her hair is styled in a neat, short bob. The lines are loose and sketchy, giving it a quick, almost handwritten feel. The name "Madame Bovary" is written in the corner—likely a reference to the famous novel, not the woman’s identity. The small sketch of a dress below might be an early design idea. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
