1959
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Manteau cape marron is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Cape, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, loose cape draped over her shoulders. The cape is a warm brown with a dark trim at the collar and cuffs. Her hair is short and styled neatly, and she stands with one leg slightly forward, wearing simple high heels. The cape’s flowing lines and the way it’s sketched suggest a focus on fabric and movement, even though the drawing itself is still. The artist used quick, confident strokes to show the folds and shape. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see how she blended fashion and art in 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.
