Myosotis 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 waist and a wide skirt. The dress has diagonal stripes and a deep V-neckline, with her arms spread out slightly. She’s wearing simple high heels and has her hair styled in soft waves. The name “Myosotis” is written at the top—it’s not a person’s name but the French word for forget-me-not, a flower. The artist’s signature, *Carven*, is scrawled in the corner, hinting this might be a fashion drawing. Next, look up Carven to see how this designer shaped mid-century style.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
