Manteau kaki 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 long, olive-green coat with big pockets and a belted waist. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s walking with one foot slightly ahead. In the corner, there’s a quick, rough sketch of the same coat on a hanger. The coat’s simple lines and muted color make it look practical, almost like something you’d wear every day. The artist used loose, confident strokes—no tiny details, just the shape and feel of the fabric. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see how her designs shaped fashion.
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.
