1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Ming is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, sleeveless white dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. The dress has a bold blue pattern near the waist and a deep V-neckline. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip and the other resting by her side. The drawing is simple but confident, using loose lines to suggest fabric and movement. The name "Ming" is written in the corner, possibly the dress’s design name. Next, look up 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.
