1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Ogive is a 1955 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 sleek black dress with a deep V-neck and fitted waist. Her skirt flares slightly at the bottom, and she wears simple hoop earrings. The drawing is loose and quick, with clean lines and minimal shading. The name *Ogive* might refer to the dress’s pointed, arched shape at the waist. The sketch looks like it was done fast—maybe for fashion work. Check out womenswear from the 1930s to see how dresses like this fit into everyday style.
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.
