'Minou' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This quick sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing green dress. Her coat has bold lines and a wide collar, while the skirt flares out behind her. A bright yellow bow sits at her neck, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The loose, sketchy style makes the clothes look like they’re in motion, even though the figure is still. The artist focused on the shape and fabric, not details. 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.
