Castillane is a 1958 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman from the back wearing a long black dress with a deep V-neckline and thin straps. The skirt is wide and full, almost touching the ground, with a slight train at the back. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and she holds her hands in front of her. The drawing includes smaller sketches of the dress’s front and back pieces, showing how it’s put together. The artist used quick, loose lines for the body and detailed shading for the fabric folds. If you like this style, check out Carven for more fashion-focused art.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
