'Chauve-Souris' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing, dramatic dress with wide, wing-like sleeves. The lines are bold and loose, giving the figure a sense of movement. The dress drapes loosely, with one arm raised and the other holding a small object. The artist signed it "Carven," which might be a nod to the designer’s real name. The drawing feels quick and experimental, like a fashion sketch rather than a polished work. Look up Carven to see more of their bold, stylish designs.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
