1967

Dominant colour
Manteau bleu clair et chapeau assorti is a 1967 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 loose, knee-length coat with five black buttons down the front. She’s holding the coat open slightly, and her hair is pulled back under a matching hat. The lines are simple and confident, with just a few quick strokes for shading. The coat’s clean, flat design suggests it’s meant to be worn casually or for everyday use. The small drawing in the corner looks like a simplified pattern for the same coat. Next, check out womenswear from the 1920s to see how fashion was changing.
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.
