From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Aigue-marine is a 1965 by Carven, depicting sleeveles, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a high collar and a wide-brimmed hat. The dress is a solid teal color, and the hat is dark with a pale band inside. Her pose is simple but confident, with one hand resting on her hip and the other loose at her side. The title *Aigue-marine* (French for "sea water") hints at the dress’s color. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and minimal shading. Look up Carven to see more of this artist’s fashion sketches.
