1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Perce-neige is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with thin straps and a flared skirt that ends just above the knees. The fabric looks smooth, with a slight pattern on the skirt. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip. The name "Perce-neige" is written at the top, which might hint at something about the design. The sketch feels quick and loose, like a first idea for a dress. If you like this style, 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.
