1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Réséda is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in matching green outfits with dark trim. One stands facing us, arms relaxed, wearing a wide-brimmed hat. The other is seen from behind, her coat slightly open. Both outfits have a dotted texture and high heels. The name *Réséda* is scribbled in the corner—maybe the outfit’s name or a code. The loose, quick lines suggest the artist worked fast, focusing on shapes over details. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see how she shaped 1950s fashion.
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.
