Citronelle is a 1956 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a floral pattern in yellow, orange, and white. The dress has a fitted bodice with a draped neckline and a wide skirt that flares out. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s standing with one leg slightly bent. The title *Citronelle* is written in the corner, and the drawing uses loose, confident lines. The floral print on the skirt looks like it’s made with quick, sketchy brushstrokes. Check out Carven next to see more of their fashion designs.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
