1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Sans-souci is a 1953 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 orange dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her pose is confident, with one hand resting on her hip and the other holding the skirt slightly. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a sketchy, unfinished feel. The title "Sans-souci" means "without worry" in French, which might hint at the carefree style of the dress. The sketch looks like it was done fast, focusing on shape and color over detail. Check out the artist’s work at Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
