About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with a dark blue floral pattern. The dress fits snugly at the waist and flares out into a wide skirt. She’s holding a small object in her right hand, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The title *Clématite* (French for clematis, a flowering vine) hints the dress might be named after this plant. The loose, flowing lines give it a light, airy feel. Check out Carven for more fashion-inspired art.
