1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Pergola is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a bright red hat and a loose, sleeveless dress with a deep V-neck. The dress is a mix of dark blue, green, and red splashes, with black lines running down the skirt. Her pose is relaxed, one hand resting on her hip and the other slightly out. The drawing uses quick, sketchy lines to show fabric and movement. The name "Pergola" is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means here. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
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.
