Pamplemousse is a 1956 by Carven, depicting Lace, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a bright yellow dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with short sleeves and a flared skirt that hits just above the knees. The waist is cinched with a thin belt, and the skirt has a subtle lace trim at the hem. The drawing is labeled *Pamplemousse*—French for "grapefruit"—which might hint at the dress’s citrusy color. The style looks clean and modern, like something you’d see in the mid-1900s. If you like this sketch, check out Carven, the artist behind it.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
