About this work

This sketch shows a simple figure wearing a long, orange dress with dark, leaf-like patterns. The dress has a high collar and flared sleeves, drawn in loose, quick lines. The background is plain, letting the outfit stand out. The drawing’s loose style makes it look like a quick fashion idea rather than a detailed portrait. The name "Mikado" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s design code. Next, check out Carven to see more of their fashion-focused artwork.
