'San Salvador' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress made of bold red, purple, and white flowers. The petals spill across the front like a bouquet. Her arms are out slightly, and the dress has wide, easy sleeves. The background is just white paper, so the focus stays on the bright colors and the shape of the dress. The artist signed it “San Salvador” in the corner—maybe a name or a place. The flowers look like they’re growing right out of the fabric, making the dress feel alive. Want to see more?
