1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Noix de coco is a 1956 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, fitted outfit. She wears a short jacket with three visible buttons down the front, a full skirt that flares slightly, and a wide-brimmed hat. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and one hand holds what looks like a small object. The name *Noix de coco* (which means "coconut" in French) is written at the top, hinting at a playful or thematic connection—maybe to the shape or texture of the outfit. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see how she shaped fashion in 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.
