Carmen
1964
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Carmen is a 1964 by Carven, depicting Bikini, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a simple black two-piece outfit on a person with a blank face. The top is sleeveless with thin straps, and the bottom is a short skirt with a small waistband. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick draft. The name *Carmen* is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it refers to here. The outfit looks like an early version of a bikini, but with more fabric. If you like this sketch, look up *bikini* next to see how swimwear changed over time.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
