1952
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Vaneau is a 1952 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a loose, boxy jacket with a big checkered pattern. She’s wearing a matching skirt, and her hands rest in her pockets. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes that keep things clean. The jacket looks like it’s made for comfort, not formality—maybe for someone who wants to move freely. The checkered pattern is bold but not fussy, which feels modern for its time. If you like this style, look up womenswear from the 1950s to see how clothing changed then.
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.
