'Mamounia' is a 1949 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a wide belt and short sleeves. The fabric has a dotted pattern, and she’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat tilted slightly to one side. On the right side of the paper, there’s a row of small flowers drawn in ink, almost like a border. The artist signed it “Mamounia” in the corner, but the drawing feels more like a quick fashion study than a finished portrait. The lines are simple, with some shading added lightly to show folds in the dress. Want to see more? Check out womenswear from the 1940s for similar styles.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
