1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Dominant colour
Symphonie en blanc is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing blue dress with a wide skirt and a matching jacket. Her hair is pulled up, and she’s wearing heels. The dress has a loose, wavy pattern on the skirt. In the corner, there’s a small drawing of the same dress from the front, showing the bow at the back. The handwriting in the top right says *"Symphonie en blanc"* and *"Carven – 66."* That might mean the artist’s last name and the year. The lines on the skirt look drawn with quick, sketchy strokes. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion drawings.
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.
