1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Turquoise is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Turquoise, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress. The top is a fitted blue bodice with small white dots, and the skirt flares out in soft, light blue layers. Her pose is simple—one hand rests on her hip, the other holds the skirt slightly. The label "Turquoise" hints at the dress’s color, which stands out against the plain background. The loose, brushy lines give it a quick, almost painted feel. Look up 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.
