'Siantago' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, boxy dress with short sleeves and a checkered pattern. The dress has sharp angles and a straight skirt that falls just below the knees. Her arms are crossed, and the lines are loose but confident, giving the drawing a quick, sketchy feel. The artist signed it "SianTago" at the bottom, which might be a stylized version of the title. The drawing looks like it was made fast—maybe even on the spot—to capture the shape and style of the outfit. Want to see more by the artist who made this? Look up 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.
