'Astrakan' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark coat with big, fluffy brown sleeves and cuffs. The coat has a belt at the waist and a high collar with a feather or tuft sticking up. Her hands are tucked into her pockets, and the dress underneath peeks out at the hem. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and simple shading. The artist focused on the shape and texture of the coat, especially the puffy sleeves. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion designs.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
