Menam is a 1959 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 green coat with a fluffy white collar. She’s standing sideways, one arm bent at her side, the other loose. Next to her is a simpler drawing of the same coat, flat and folded. The artist focused on the coat’s shape—notice how the buttons and seams are marked with quick lines. The sketch feels like a quick note for a designer. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion drawings.
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.
