Rhododendrons is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a green-and-black floral pattern. Her sleeves are puffy at the shoulders, and she stands with one hand on her hip, the other resting on her thigh. The lines are quick and confident, with some areas left plain while others get a few bold strokes. The dress looks like something you’d wear to a party in the 1950s—simple but stylish. The artist used loose brushwork, letting the shapes suggest fabric instead of detailing every fold. Next, check out Carven, the designer behind this sketch.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
