Pois de senteur is a 1953 by Carven, depicting Polka Dot, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two dresses with long sleeves and wide skirts. One dress is purple with a darker blue collar, while the other is drawn in pencil only. The skirts are full and flowy, with the colored dress fading from deep purple to soft pink at the bottom. The title *Pois de senteur* is written at the top, which roughly means "scented peas" in French. The dresses might hint at polka dots or floral patterns, but here they’re just suggested with color. Look up polka dot next to see how this simple idea shows up in fashion.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
