1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Vénitienne is a 1953 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 simple black dress with vertical stripes on the top and a loose, flowing skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a small hat and gloves. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes for the arms and legs. The name "Vénitienne" is written in the corner, suggesting a style inspired by Venice. The sketch focuses on the shape and movement of the clothing, not the face. Look up womenswear to see how fashion has changed over time.
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.
