1960
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Vétiver is a 1960 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark coat with big lapels and a high collar. She’s standing sideways, one hand tucked into her pocket, the other loose at her side. The coat is thick and straight, with a slight A-line shape. Next to her is a simple line drawing of the same coat, like a flat pattern. The name *Vétiver* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the coat’s name or a scent. The artist used quick, sketchy lines, leaving some areas rough.

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.
