About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a deep blue dress that flares out into a wide skirt. The back of the dress dips low, revealing her shoulders. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s holding one arm out to the side. The name *Eden* is scrawled in the corner, and the whole drawing feels quick and loose, like a first idea. The blue is dark but has light streaks where the fabric would catch light. Next, check out Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.

Carven

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