1963
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Mots croisés is a 1963 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Chef' Hat, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark outfit. She’s wearing a long coat with a belted waist and a matching hat pulled low over her forehead. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick sketch. The title *Mots croisés* means "crossed words" in French, which might hint at the way the lines overlap in the drawing. The artist signed it "Carven," which is also the name of a famous fashion designer—maybe a nod to style. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
