Fabiola
1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Fabiola is a 1958 by Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, knee-length dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The skirt has a loose floral pattern in soft blues, greens, and browns. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing simple heels. In the corner, there’s a small sketch of the dress’s bodice shape. The handwritten note “Fabiola” suggests this was a design for a specific dress. The loose, quick lines make it feel like a working draft rather than a finished piece. Next, look up Carven to see more of this designer’s work.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
