1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Mirliflore is a 1956 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 loose, knee-length dress with a fitted waist. The dress has a dark background with scattered red and brown floral spots. Her sleeves are puffy at the shoulders and taper down, and she wears small earrings. The name *Mirliflore* is written in the corner, which might refer to the fabric or design. The drawing is simple but captures the dress’s flow with quick, confident lines. Check out womenswear from the 1940s to see how this style fits into fashion history.
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.
