Totem 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 bright yellow coat with big pockets and a loose fit. Her hands are tucked into the pockets, and she’s wearing dark shoes. The lines are simple, almost like a quick sketch, with just a few details filled in. The title *Totem* is written in the corner, which might hint at something symbolic—but it’s not clear what. The coat looks practical, maybe for work or travel, with a clean, modern style. If you like this kind of drawing, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
