Ficelle is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a fitted gray dress with a narrow skirt, standing confidently on a set of stairs. She holds a long, dark coat in one hand, and her other hand rests on her hip. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft shading and a few bold lines to define shapes. The artist signed it "Ficelle," which was also the name of a popular 1950s fabric. The sketch feels like a snapshot of mid-century style—clean, structured, and effortlessly chic. If you like this look, check out womenswear from the 1950s for more details.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
