Cachalot is a 1952 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with long sleeves. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip and the other near her face. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a light, airy feel. The name "Cachalot" is written at the top, which might be the dress’s design name. The artist focused on the shape and movement of the fabric, not details. Look up Carven next—they designed real clothes, not just sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
