Arcole
1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Arcole is a 1957 by Carven, depicting Button, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in matching blue-and-black plaid outfits. One stands straight, arms at her sides, while the other leans on one hand, showing off the same dress from a different angle. The fabric has a crisscross pattern, and the dresses have pockets and buttons down the front. The name *Arcole* is scrawled in the corner—maybe the outfit’s style or the artist’s signature. The drawing also includes a simple back view of the jacket and skirt, almost like a pattern draft. If you like this sketchy style, check out cross-hatching next.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
