'Chardon' is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman walking, wearing a long, flowing dress with vertical lines and a wide-brimmed hat. Her left hand holds a small bird or purse, and her right hand rests on her hip. In the background, there’s a simple bench with vertical slats. The artist used loose, quick strokes to draw the figure, giving it a lively, almost dancing feel. The focus is on the dress’s movement and the hat’s shape. Next, check out womenswear from the 1950s to see how fashion influenced this sketch.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
