1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Orphéon 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 in a long, red coat with big pockets and a belt. Her coat has sharp lines and a simple shape—no frills, just clean edges. She’s wearing a hat that sits low on her head, and her hands are tucked into her pockets. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold strokes for the coat and lighter lines for the rest. The name *Orphéon* is scrawled in the corner, but we don’t know what it means here. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next—she’s the artist behind this sketch.
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.
