Paprika is a 1952 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a simple dress form wearing a loose, sleeveless dress. The dress has a wide neckline and a long, flowing skirt with clean vertical lines. The drawing is light and quick, with just a few pencil strokes. The notes say the dress has "3 simple pleats" and "deep pleats" near the waist. This suggests the artist was thinking about how the fabric folds. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
