1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Madrilène is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The fabric looks textured, almost like it has a pattern or folds. She’s wearing simple black heels and has her hair pulled back neatly. In the corner, there’s a small sketch of the dress from the back, showing how it fits. The name *Madrilène* is written in the top-right corner, hinting at a possible connection to Madrid. The drawing style is loose but precise, focusing on shape and movement.

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.
