Bon genre
1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Bon genre is a 1957 by Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with a deep V-neck. The fabric has a splashy mix of blue, purple, and brown paint. She’s standing sideways, one hand resting on her hip, the other holding a small object. In the corner, there’s a quick sketch of a draped garment. The title *Bon genre* is written in the top right—it’s French for "good taste" or "of good quality." The drawing feels quick and lively, like a first idea rather than a finished work. If you like this style, look up Carven next—they were known for bold, modern fashion designs.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
