About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark blue dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. Her sleeves are rolled up, and she holds a small object in one hand. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes for the face and hands. The word *Désinvolte* means "carefree" in French, which might hint at the dress’s relaxed style. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to show fabric folds and movement. Next, check out Carven to see more of their fashion-focused drawings.
