1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Orgues 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 woman in a simple, dark outfit with a long coat draped over one arm. The lines are loose and quick, with just a few strokes for the face and hands. The background is plain, letting the clothes stand out. The artist signed it "Orgues" in the corner—maybe that’s the outfit’s name. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a polished work. Next, check out womenswear from the 1920s to see how fashion like this shaped daily life.
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.
