Algue is a 1963 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two simple drawings of women’s figures. One is a quick, loose outline of a woman in a long, flowing dress with a draped neckline. The other is a smaller, even simpler stick-figure style with a straight dress. The colors are muted—soft browns and beiges—with just a hint of yellow in the hair of the first figure. The drawings focus on the shape of the clothing, not the details. The long dress looks like it’s made of one piece of fabric, with no seams or folds—just smooth, flowing lines. The smaller sketch is even more basic, almost like a quick note. If you like this style, check out Carven.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
