Coquelicot is a 1958 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a wide skirt. The dress has a bold pattern of red flowers on a light background, and the woman’s pose is relaxed, with one hand on her hip. The lines are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The name *Coquelicot* might refer to the French word for poppy flowers, matching the red blooms on the dress. The artist’s loose style makes the drawing feel fresh and modern. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
