'Embarcadère' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, clean outfit. She’s wearing a light pink jacket with black lapels over a dark skirt, standing with her hands in her pockets. The lines are loose and confident, with just a few watercolor washes for shading. The word *Embarcadère* is written in the corner—it means "boarding area" in French, like a train or ferry station. That might hint at where this outfit was meant to be worn. Next, check out womenswear from the 1940s to see how this style fits into everyday fashion.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
