Passe-temps is a 1955 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, loose dress with short sleeves and pockets. She stands with her arms crossed, looking off to the side. The lines are quick and light, leaving the background mostly blank. The title *Passe-temps* (French for "pastime") hints this might be a casual study of fashion. The drawing feels like a quick note of how someone dressed in their everyday life. Check out Marie-Louise Carven for more work like this.
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.
