1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Marinière is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman from the back, wearing a dark blue dress with a deep V-neck and short sleeves. She’s holding a cigarette in one hand and has a small bow at her collar. The dress fits snugly at the waist and flares out at the knees, with simple black heels on her feet. The loose, sketchy lines give the drawing a quick, almost playful feel. The word *Marinière* is written in the corner, which might hint at a connection to sailor-style clothes. 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.
