1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Mail- coach is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, knee-length coat with a belt at the waist. The coat has short sleeves and a rounded collar. Next to her is a flat drawing of the same coat, folded to show the back. The lines are loose and quick, with light shading for shadows. The title *Mail-coach* might hint at a connection to travel or mail delivery, but here it’s just a stylish coat. The drawing feels more like a fashion sketch than a detailed portrait.
