Ceinture verte is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Belt, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a bold outfit. She’s wearing a white top with black and green geometric patches on the sleeves and skirt. A black cummerbund cinches her waist, and her pose is relaxed, one hand on her head. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes and flat colors. The title *Ceinture verte* means "green belt" — that’s the cummerbund she’s wearing. It’s the only bright green part of the drawing, standing out against the black and white. Look up belt next to see how fashion details like this change over time.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
