'Lavande' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women in simple, flowing dresses. One stands tall with her arms crossed, wearing a long coat and a bow at her neck. The other walks beside her, her dress dotted with small lines. The lines and shading are loose, almost like quick notes. The artist used watercolor and ink to keep it light and fast. The focus is on the shapes and movement of the clothes. Look up womenswear to see how fashion was drawn in the early 1900s.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
