Froufrou is a 1958 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a fitted waist and a flared skirt. The dress has a bold pattern of black swirls on a reddish-brown background. Her hair is styled in a smooth, rounded updo, and she stands with one hand on her hip. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the dress from the front, showing its shape more clearly. The sketch looks like it was made quickly, with loose brushstrokes and a few pencil lines. The name "Froufrou" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s style or nickname.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
