Pamir is a 1959 by Carven, depicting womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, knee-length dress with a dark plaid pattern. The dress has short sleeves and a small collar, with a pocket on the front. Next to her is a flat drawing of the same dress, showing its shape from the back. The lines are clean and loose, with some shading on the dress and arms. The handwritten label "Pamir" and the number 35 hint this might be a design sketch. The flat drawing suggests this was made to show how the dress would look from behind, too.
