1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Plein air is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, knee-length dress with vertical lines running down the skirt. The top has a bow collar and short sleeves, while the skirt flares slightly at the bottom. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears simple, pointed shoes. The title *Plein air* (French for "open air") hints this might have been drawn outside, though the style looks more like a fashion study. The loose lines and shading give it a quick, sketchy feel. 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.
