'Grand hotel' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark suit with wide lapels and a belted waist. Her hat sits low on her head, and one hand rests on her hip while the other holds a small purse. The lines are quick and confident, with some shading to suggest fabric folds. The title “Grand hotel” hints this outfit might be for fancy travel or nightlife. The sketch feels like a quick note from a designer, not a polished final work. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
