Pistache is a 1958 by Carven, depicting Belt, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, knee-length dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a belt tied at the waist, and the fabric has a green leaf pattern. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The name *Pistache* is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s code name. The sketch also includes a flat outline of the dress, showing how it’s cut. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
