1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Saute-mouton is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a loose, sleeveless dress with a round neckline. The skirt is full and light-colored, dotted with splashes of blue, pink, and purple. The fabric looks soft and airy, almost like it’s floating. The name *Saute-mouton* is written in the corner—it’s French for “jump sheep,” which might hint at the dress’s playful, bouncy style. The brushstrokes are quick and loose, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her bold, stylish designs.
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.
