1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Olivia 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 from behind, wearing a long green coat with a leafy pattern. The coat has a high collar, three black buttons, and wide sleeves that end in a slight flare. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft pencil lines and watercolor washes. The name *Olivia* is written in the top right corner, but we don’t know if that’s the model or the design. The coat looks like something you’d wear in the 1950s or 60s—simple but stylish. If you like this kind of fashion sketch, check out womenswear from the same era.
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.
