Guimauve is a 1958 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a bright pink coat with big lapels and matching gloves. She’s wearing a simple skirt and low heels, walking with one foot slightly ahead. The coat has a puffy collar and a few buttons down the front. Off to the side, there’s a flat drawing of the same coat without the woman. The name *Guimauve* (which means "marshmallow" in French) might hint at the soft, pastel color of the coat. The drawing looks quick and loose, like it was made fast.

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