1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Vert-citron is a 1958 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, sleek dress with bright yellow floral patterns. The dress is strapless, fitted at the waist, and flares out into a soft A-line shape. The flowers are loose and sketchy, almost like quick brushstrokes. In the corner, there’s a tiny side view of the same dress, drawn in a few quick lines. The handwriting on the paper says *"Vert-citron,"* which likely means "lime green" in French—maybe the dress was meant to be that color. The sketch feels fast and loose, like a quick idea rather than a finished drawing. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
