1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Optimiste is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a bright red dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a simple neckline and short sleeves, with a pattern of small, swirling shapes on the skirt. She stands with one hand resting on her hip and the other holding the skirt slightly. The title *Optimiste* is written in the top right corner, suggesting a cheerful or hopeful mood. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost playful feel. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for 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.
