Ondée is a 1955 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two views of a simple, sleek outfit. One side displays a woman in a long coat with a high collar and a flared skirt, standing straight. The other side shows the same coat draped over a mannequin, revealing its loose, flowing shape. The drawing is loose and quick, with just a few lines to suggest fabric folds and proportions. The name *Ondée* (which means "shower" or "rain" in French) is written at the top—maybe hinting at the way the coat moves. Check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
