Mouvante
1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Mouvante is a 1957 by Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleek dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. The dress has a soft pink and peach color, with a darker red stripe running down the front. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a lively, unfinished feel. The word *Mouvante* is written at the top—it’s French for "moving," which might hint at how the dress looks in motion. There’s also a tiny sketch of just the dress’s bodice at the bottom left. Next, look up Carven to see more of this artist’s bold, stylish designs.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
