Nubie is a 1959 by Carven, depicting Handkerchief, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a side view of a person in a long, dark coat with wide lapels and matching pants. Their hair is short and slightly messy, and they’re holding something small in one hand. To the right, there’s a simple drawing of the same coat hanging on a hanger. The coat looks like it could be made for someone who works in an office or travels often. The way it’s drawn is loose and quick, like a first idea before the final design. If you like this style, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more sketches like this.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
