'Carmencita' is a 1951 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a big, frilly dress with three layers of ruffles. The dress is white with black swirly patterns that look like flowers or vines. She’s wearing a black hat and holding her hands up like she’s dancing or posing. The name *Carmencita* is scrawled in the corner, which might be the title or a nod to the flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya. The loose, sketchy lines give it a lively, almost hand-drawn feel. Next, check out Carven—this artist’s bold, stylized drawings are worth exploring.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
