'Praline' is a 1949 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, strapless gown with a wide skirt made of thin, layered fabric. The dress has a fitted bodice with a beaded waistband, and the skirt flares out dramatically. Small floral embroidery decorates the hem and sides, adding a touch of detail. The name "Praline" is written at the top, which might refer to the dress design or the artist’s style. The drawing uses loose, confident lines with some shading to suggest fabric texture. Next, check out Carven to see more of this artist’s fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
