Lucile
1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Lucile is a 1957 by Carven, depicting Smock, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark blue suit with wide lapels and a matching skirt. Her hair is short and neatly styled, and she wears low-heeled shoes. The drawing is simple but captures her confident stance, with one hand resting on her hip. The name *Lucile* is written in the corner, likely the outfit’s design name. The artist also included a quick back view to show the suit’s simple lines. Next, check out the technique: cross-hatching used in fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
