1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Rumba is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a bright yellow strapless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her arms are outstretched, and she wears gloves and simple earrings. The background is plain, keeping all focus on the dress. The name "Rumba" is written in the corner, which might hint at a dance or lively theme. The loose, confident brushstrokes make the figure feel dynamic. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion drawings.
