Adam is a 1952 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, fitted outfit—checkered jacket, matching pants, and a bow at the waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s striking a pose with one hand raised. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes defining her clothes and shape. The drawing focuses on the fabric’s texture, using small, repeated lines to suggest the checkered pattern. It’s all about the clothes, not the face. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
