About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with short sleeves and a neat collar. The dress has a straight skirt that falls just below the knees, with two pockets on the front. Next to her is a quick back-view drawing of the same dress, showing its clean lines and lack of extra details. The sketch uses quick, loose lines to capture the dress’s shape and fabric texture. The handwritten note "Mosquée" in the corner hints at a possible name for the design. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion drawings.

Carven

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
