1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Saint Honoré is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Belt, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two figures side by side. The person on the left wears a dark, knee-length dress with a fitted waist and a simple belt. Their hair is pulled back, and they’re standing straight. The person on the right is dressed in a dark suit jacket with a tie, facing slightly away. The handwritten note “St. Honoré” suggests this might be a fashion drawing for a specific design. The loose, quick lines make it feel like a working sketch rather than a finished piece. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists use layers of lines to build up shapes.
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.
