1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Papillon is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a simple green dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick note. The dress has a bow at the neckline, and the sleeves are short. The word "Papillon" is written in the corner—it’s French for "butterfly," which might hint at something about the dress’s shape or style. Next, check out 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.
