1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Savane is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Belt, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, long-sleeved top and a wide, flared skirt. Her outfit has a belt at the waist, and she’s wearing a small hat. One hand points outward, like she’s explaining something. The name *Savane* is written at the top, and the drawing looks like it was done quickly with pencil strokes. The clothes seem practical but stylish, maybe for work or casual wear. If you like this sketch, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
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.
