1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Pôle nord 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 loose, patterned jacket and matching skirt. Her right hand is raised slightly, as if mid-gesture. The lines are simple but confident, with quick brushstrokes for the fabric’s texture. The name *Pôle nord* is written in the corner—maybe a title or just a note. The outfit looks like something from the mid-20th century, with a relaxed, modern cut. Next, check out womenswear from the 1950s to see how fashion was changing then.
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.
