Phaedra is a 1963 by Carven, depicting Sleeveles, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress. The dress is sleeveless and light blue, with a darker blue pattern near the top. Her hair is styled up, and she’s wearing simple jewelry—just a few dots on her ears. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick sketch. The name *Phaedra* is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it refers to. The artist signed it with a small mark in the bottom left. If you like how the dress moves, check out the technique called transparency.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
