About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple red dress with short sleeves and a belt at the waist. She’s walking, one foot slightly ahead, and her hair is pulled back neatly. To the right, there’s a flat drawing of the same dress from the back, showing the back seam and belt. The name "Kiki" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s nickname. The drawing looks quick and loose, like it was made fast to show the shape and style. Look up Carven next—they designed this sketch and more fashion art.

Carven

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