Poid plume

From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Poid plume is a 1959 by Carven, depicting Feather, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a fitted jacket and flared skirt covered in dark blue polka dots. Her hair is styled in a loose updo, and she wears a small collar under the jacket. The jacket has three visible buttons and long sleeves, while the skirt flares out at the knees. On the right side is a simple back view of the same outfit. The outfit’s polka dots are bold and evenly spaced, giving it a clean, modern look. The jacket’s collar peeks out slightly, adding a subtle detail. Next, look up polka dot to see how this pattern changed over time.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
