Etretat is a 1958 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a dark blue dress with a fitted bodice and a full, flared skirt. She stands confidently with one hand on her hip and the other holding a long cigarette holder. The dress has white trim at the collar and waist, and her hair is styled in a neat updo. In the corner, there’s a simple sketch of the dress from the back, showing the same flared shape. The woman’s pose and the cigarette holder suggest a mid-20th-century style, often linked to fashion sketches. The loose, flowing skirt was popular in the 1950s, giving dresses a softer, more relaxed look. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion designs.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
