Pardessus moka
1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Pardessus moka is a 1957 by Carven, depicting Overcoat, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman walking sideways, wearing a long brown coat with a dark collar. Her skirt is straight and hits just above her knees. The coat has buttons down the front, and she’s holding something small in her right hand. The coat looks like a simple, everyday style—maybe something you’d see in the 1950s or 60s. It’s drawn in flat colors with clean lines, no shading. Next, check out the overcoat to see how styles changed over time.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
