1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Maracas is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a long coat with bold black-and-white stripes. Her arms are raised slightly, and she’s wearing a hat and pointed shoes. The drawing is loose and quick, with simple lines and no extra details. The word *Maracas* is scrawled in the corner—maybe a nickname for the outfit or a place. The style looks like a fashion study, focusing on how the coat drapes. Check out Marie-Louise Carven for more of her sharp, stylish sketches.
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.
