1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Muraille is a 1958 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 simple, tailored outfit with a belted jacket and a loose skirt. Her hair is covered by a headscarf, and she’s drawn mid-stride, one hand resting on her chest. To the left, there’s a matching dress with a gathered skirt, also in pencil. The drawing feels quick and loose, like a fashion sketch. The lines are confident but not fussy, focusing on shape over detail. Next, look up 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.
