1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Rossignol is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with bright floral patterns—pinks, yellows, and blues. The fabric looks soft, almost floating as she walks. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and the dress flares out at the bottom. In the corner, there’s a tiny sketch of the dress from the front, showing how it would look flat. The name *Rossignol* is written in the top right corner, but we don’t know what it means here. The drawing feels quick and loose, like a first idea rather than a finished design. Check out 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.
