1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Origan is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a long, green dress with a dark jacket. The dress has a loose, flowing skirt and three small buttons near the hem. She’s wearing a white hat, dark gloves, and pointed shoes. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her outfit. The word *PUBLICITÉ* is scrawled in the corner—this drawing was made to advertise clothes. The sketch is loose and quick, like a fashion sketch, not a detailed portrait. Check out womenswear from the 1940s for more styles like this.
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.
