Nimbe is a 1956 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing, strapless dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, sheer skirt. The dress has a black belt at the waist and a few small gold designs near the hem. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s standing with one arm bent at the side. The name *Nimbe* is written in the top corner, and the sketch looks like it was done quickly with loose lines. The dress style suggests it might be from the mid-20th century, but we don’t know for sure. If you like this kind of fashion drawing, look up Carven.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
