1949

Dominant colour
'Parme' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a high neck and puffy sleeves. The gown is dark purple, almost black, with a train that sweeps behind her. Her hair is pulled back simply, and the whole drawing is loose and quick, like a quick sketch. The artist signed it "Parme" in the corner, and the name "Carven" is also written there. The lines are confident but not detailed, focusing on shapes over tiny details. 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.
