Pétula
1964
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Pétula is a 1964 by Carven, depicting breech, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman wearing a bright turquoise swimsuit covered in red flowers. She’s got big round sunglasses and her arm is bent behind her head. The lines are loose and quick, like a fashion doodle. The name *Pétula* is written at the top—maybe it’s the model’s nickname or the outfit’s code. The small sketch in the corner looks like a quick study of the same woman sitting down. Check out Carven, the artist who made this.
