1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Sophie is a 1956 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, elegant outfit. She’s wearing a short-sleeved blouse with a collar and a belted skirt that flares out slightly. The skirt has a subtle pattern, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The lines are loose but confident, giving the figure a light, airy feel. The name "Sophie" is written in the corner, suggesting this might be a design sketch for a dress. The artist kept the background plain, focusing all attention on the clothing. If you like this style, look up womenswear from the 1950s for more examples.
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.
