Citadin is a 1956 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman walking away from us. She’s wearing a dark blue suit with a matching hat, and her hair is tucked under it. The background is plain, so all the focus is on her outfit and how she moves. The artist used quick, loose lines to sketch her, making the drawing feel lively. The name *Citadin* is written in the corner—it’s French for “city dweller,” hinting she might be dressed for urban life. Next, check out womenswear from the 1930s to see how suits like this shaped fashion.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
