Poudre de fleur
1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Poudre de fleur is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Flower, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a strapless blue-and-white dress with a wide, flowing skirt. The bodice has a dotted pattern, and the skirt is splashed with loose, painted flowers in pink, white, and blue. Her hair is styled neatly, and she stands confidently against a plain background. The title *Poudre de fleur* means "flower powder" in French, hinting at the dress’s delicate floral details. The loose, sketchy lines make it feel quick and lively, like a fashion idea jotted down fast. If you like this style, check out Carven for more of their bold, elegant designs.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
