'Paillote' is a 1951 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 simple, long dress with a high collar and short sleeves. The dress is a light yellow with a darker trim at the collar and cuffs. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat and stands with her hands resting at her sides. The drawing is loose and quick, with just a few lines defining the shape. The artist used simple strokes to suggest fabric folds and movement. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her 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.
