'Mexicana' is a 1951 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. The dress has black lace-like patterns and sheer fabric at the bottom, while the top is solid with a simple neckline. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her head and the other arm bent at the side. The word *"Mexicana"* is written in the corner, hinting at a cultural or regional theme. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with loose lines and watercolor shading. Look up Carven next to see more of their fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
