1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Tailleur amande is a 1957 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 bright green suit with big shoulder pads and a fitted waist. Her hair is short and neat, and she stands confidently with her hands on her hips. Next to her is a dress form wearing a floral-patterned dress, drawn in a simpler style. The artist wrote "Retours Toile" in the corner, which might mean something about the design process. The green suit looks like it’s from the mid-20th century, with a bold, boxy shape. Check out womenswear from the 1950s for more suits like this one.
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.
