Amphitrite is a 1952 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing navy-blue gown. The dress has a fitted bodice with a deep V-neck and three-quarter sleeves, while the skirt flares out dramatically. Her pose is confident, with one hand resting on her hip and the other arm bent at the elbow. The name *Amphitrite* suggests a connection to Greek mythology, but here it’s just a label for the design. The loose, brushy lines give it a quick, almost handwritten feel. Check out Carven to see more of his fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
