'Pâquerettes' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a deep V-neck. Her skirt has bright floral embroidery down the front, and she’s striking a pose with one arm raised. The lines are simple but confident, with a loose, sketchy feel. The signature reads *Pâquerettes*—not a person’s name, but the title of the work. The artist used quick, flat colors and clean outlines, almost like a fashion sketch. 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.
