1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Patio is a 1952 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 long, flowing dress. The top is green with a bold pattern, while the skirt is black with red and green splashes. Her pose is simple—one arm rests at her side, the other slightly bent. The title *Patio* hints this might be a design for a garden party dress. The loose, sketchy lines make it feel quick and lively, like a first idea rather than a finished work. Next, check out womenswear from the 1950s to see how fashion blended bold colors with elegant shapes.
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.
