About this work

This sketch shows a dress with a wide, flared skirt in deep red. The top is a short, striped jacket in white and blue, with a few black buttons down the front. The lines are loose but confident, almost like a quick sketch. The word "Grenade" is written at the top, which might hint at the bold red color. The drawing looks like it was made to show how the dress would look on a person. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion designs.

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