1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Muscadin is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Ensemble, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant outfit. She’s wearing a short jacket with green and pink floral prints over a matching pleated skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s walking with one arm bent at the side. To the right, there’s a basic dress shape drawn in black lines. The floral pattern on the jacket and skirt looks fresh and playful. The pleats in the skirt give it a light, flowing movement. The sketch is loose and quick, with some shading to show folds and volume. Next, look up pleating to see how fabric folds like this are made.
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.
