Obélisque is a 1955 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit. The top has a high neck with a geometric chain design, and the pants are fitted with a subtle woven pattern near the waist. Her pose is simple—one arm relaxed, the other bent at the elbow—with a hat that has bold stripes. The handwritten label says *Obélisque*, which might hint at the dress’s sharp, angular shape. The drawing feels quick and precise, like a fashion sketch meant to show fabric and fit. If you like this style, look up Carven for more of their designs.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
