1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Menuet is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing white wedding dress and veil. She’s mid-motion, arms outstretched like she’s dancing. The dress has soft folds and a simple crown on her head. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick sketch. The word *Menuet* at the top hints this might be about a dance—maybe a bride practicing a graceful move. The drawing feels light and airy, like the dress itself. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
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.
