1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Maroussia is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a strapless dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, flowing skirt. The skirt has a bold pattern of green, orange, and brown splotches. The dress is drawn in loose, confident lines, with a smaller outline of the dress on the right for reference. The name "Maroussia" is scrawled in the top corner, likely the dress’s design name. The sketch feels quick and lively, like a first idea rather than a finished plan. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion 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.
