Grandes orgues
1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Grandes orgues is a 1957 by Carven, depicting Headscarf, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, layered wedding dress with a veil. The dress has a fitted bodice and a wide, tiered skirt that flares out. The veil is long and flows behind her, almost like a cloud. There’s a small sketch of another dress in the corner, too. The title *Grandes orgues* might hint at something about the dress’s shape or sound—maybe the layers remind you of organ pipes. The drawing is loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. Check out Carven next—they were a real designer who made clothes like this.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
