1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Pétales de rose is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a strapless, floor-length dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a floral pattern in shades of purple, pink, and gray. She stands with one hand resting on her hip and the other arm bent at the elbow. The title *Pétales de rose* (French for "rose petals") hints at the floral theme in the fabric. The loose, sketchy lines suggest quick, expressive strokes. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion-inspired work.
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.
