1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Petits pois is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Polka Dot, 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 short jacket with blue polka dots over a matching skirt. Her gloves are bright blue, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The polka dots are small and spread evenly across the fabric. The lines are loose but confident, giving the drawing a quick, sketchy feel. Next, look up polka dot to see how this tiny pattern became a fashion classic.
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.
