Orfèvre
1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Orfèvre is a 1955 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a strapless dress. The dress has a fitted bodice and a flared skirt, covered in loose brushstrokes of green, brown, and white that look like flowers or leaves. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing small earrings and heels. The sketch feels quick and loose, like a first idea rather than a finished design. The name *Orfèvre* is written in the corner—maybe a code or title for the dress. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
