Belle de jour is a 1956 by Carven, depicting Shawl, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a white collar and cuffs. She holds a small object in her right hand and wears low-heeled shoes. The drawing is loose and quick, with clean lines and flat colors. The title *Belle de Jour* hints at a connection to the 1967 film of the same name, but this is just a fashion sketch from 1956. The white collar stands out against the dark dress, giving it a sharp, elegant look. If you like this style, look up shawl collar next.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
