1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Sultane 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 long, flowing blue dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and she’s wearing simple earrings and a small red dot on her cheek. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes and some darker lines to define the shape. The word *Sultane* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the name of the dress or the model. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a finished work, with some areas left rough. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
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.
