Mokatan is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, flared skirt. The skirt has a bold floral pattern in pink, green, and white. The dress is simple but elegant, with clean lines and a slight V-neck. The artist used loose, confident strokes to sketch the figure and fabric, focusing on movement and shape. The handwritten label in the corner reads "Mokatan," which might be the dress’s name. Check out the artist Marie-Louise Carven for 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.
