'Costa-Rica' is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a mid-century dress, walking with one leg lifted. The outfit is simple but stylish—gray suit jacket with a subtle orange stitching detail, a matching skirt, and a long scarf tied loosely at the neck. Her pose is casual, almost like she’s striding down a street. The drawing is loose and quick, with watercolor washes for shading. The artist focused on the shape of the clothes and the movement of the body, not tiny details. The word "Costa-Rica" is scrawled in the corner, maybe a label or a note.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
