1949
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
'Malikoko' is a 1949 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 green dress with a deep V-neck and a belt at the waist. The dress has a few buttons down the front and flares slightly at the bottom. She’s wearing flat sandals and her hair is styled in loose waves under a wide-brimmed hat. The artist used quick, loose lines to draw the figure, leaving some areas like the background almost blank. The focus is on the dress’s shape and fabric, not detail. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
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.
