Fennec is a 1959 by Carven, depicting Polka Dot, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a loose, knee-length jacket and matching pants. Both pieces have small polka dots and a soft gray shade. She wears a wide-brimmed hat with a checkered pattern and carries a small bouquet in one hand. The jacket’s back view is sketched in the corner, showing its simple lines. The artist’s quick lines and light shading keep the drawing clean and modern. The polka dots add a playful touch to the outfit’s otherwise simple look. Next, look up polka dot to see how this tiny pattern has appeared in fashion over time.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
