1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Mexicana is a 1951 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 flowing green dress with bold yellow patterns. The dress has a fitted top and a long, flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing simple jewelry—just a ring and earrings. The word *"Mexicana"* is written at the top, hinting this outfit might be inspired by Mexican styles. The loose, painterly lines give it a quick, lively feel. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
