1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Malmaison is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in simple, loose dresses covered in bright yellow and green flowers. The dresses are dark blue, with one woman posing confidently with her hand on her hip. Both wear wide-brimmed hats and carry small bags. The lines are quick and confident, almost like a quick fashion note. The name "Malmaison" is scrawled in the corner—maybe a fashion house or a place. The dresses look like something you’d wear in the 1950s, but the artist kept it clean and modern. 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.
