'Jap' is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress and wide-brimmed hat. The outfit has a loose, draped look with a patterned shawl over one shoulder. Her pose is confident, with one arm bent at the elbow and the other hand resting on her hip. The lines are simple but expressive, using mostly brown ink on a light background. The artist focused on movement and fabric texture, even though the lines stay clean. The hat’s wide brim and the dress’s folds give a sense of style from the early 1950s. Check out Carven for more sketches of bold fashion designs.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
