1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Orgeval is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a simple, elegant dress on a faceless figure. The dress is sleeveless with a deep V-neck, tied at the waist with a bow. The fabric looks smooth and flows down to mid-calf, paired with low-heeled shoes. The lines are loose but confident, drawn in brown ink on light paper. The name *Orgeval* is scrawled in the corner—maybe a place or a design code. The artist’s handwriting is quick, like they were thinking fast while drawing. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
