1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Poisson chinois 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 sleek black dress with a deep V-neck and long sleeves. The dress has a loose, flowing skirt and a belted waist, with a splash of blue embroidery near the chest. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears round sunglasses and simple earrings. The title, *Poisson chinois*, is written in the corner—it means "Chinese fish" in French, hinting at an unusual name for a fashion drawing. The loose, quick lines suggest it was drawn fast, maybe as a design idea. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
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.
