Gueule de loup
1963
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Gueule de loup is a 1963 by Carven, depicting Sleeveles, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark dress with a fitted waist and a short hem. Her hair is styled neatly, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The dress has a subtle pattern near the bottom, and the whole drawing is done in loose, quick lines. The title *Gueule de loup* (French for "wolf’s mouth") might hint at something sharp or bold—maybe the dress’s shape or the confident pose. The drawing feels more like a quick fashion sketch than a detailed portrait. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
