Damiette is a 1959 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black-and-white outfit. She’s wearing a short-sleeved dress with a checkered pattern and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back under a small hat, and she’s standing sideways, one hand resting on her hip. To the right, there’s a smaller drawing of the same dress, showing the front view with buttons down the front. The name “Damiette” is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s name. The lines are loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.
