About this work

This sketch shows a simple dress with a short skirt and three buttons down the front. The fabric looks textured, like it’s made of scales—maybe leather or something rough. The woman’s pose is easy, one hand in her pocket, the other loose at her side. The word *Crocodile* is scrawled in the corner, hinting at the material’s name. Check out Carven to see more of their bold fashion sketches.

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