Dominant colour
'Raspa' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. The skirt has layers of sheer fabric, giving it a light, airy look. Her pose is relaxed, with one arm resting on her head and the other hand near her waist. The signature in the corner says "Raspa," which is also the title of the work. The loose, sketchy lines and simple color blocks make it feel quick and modern. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her bold, stylish designs.
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.
