'babar' is a 1951 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sharp, tailored outfit. She wears a wide-brimmed hat, a long coat with bold buttons, and a skirt that flares out at the bottom. The lines are loose but confident, giving the drawing a quick, sketchy feel. The artist’s signature "Carven" is scrawled in the corner—this isn’t just a fashion doodle, but a professional study of womenswear. The focus is on the outfit’s structure, not the face or background. Look up Carven next to see more of their bold, graphic style.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
