Eternal Parisian Chic

Marie-Louise Carven Left us.

Dean of Haute-Couture, at 105 years old, she took with her all her elegance and leaves to the French couture a beautiful inheritance.

Founded in 1945, the Carven House is a real breath of oxygen in a post-war world. The women adopt her exotic style with cheerful colors that highlights collections of flattering dresses. The silhouettes are sublimated: Well taken sizes, cheap necklines, loose skirts. She confronts the Chanel and Schiaparelli, and assumes her casual, light and chic style that can seduce Parisian. Fabrics from all over the world, fresh and colorful prints (stripes, pink gingham): it is necessary to exult the joy of life after the war.

Today, after periods of decline and recovery, the brand focuses on its ready-to-wear woman led by Alexis Martial and Adrien Caillaudaud And his ready-to-wear man presented for the first time in January 2015 for spring-summer 2016 under the artistic queens of Barnabé Hardy. The Carven House is the symbol of a French fashion, a historical mode that must be endured. Looking forward to discovering their next collections.
