Banane is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing coat with big pockets and a high collar. She’s wearing black gloves, dark stockings, and pointed shoes. The coat is loose but structured, with a slight A-line shape. The artist used smooth, light strokes to suggest fabric folds and shadows. The name *Banane* is scrawled at the top—maybe the coat’s nickname? The drawing looks like a quick sketch, but the details are sharp. The artist’s handwriting at the bottom says *Carven*.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
