'Rose des vents' is a 1949 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman’s dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, flowing skirt covered in small white polka dots. The sleeves are puffy at the shoulders, and the hem has a scalloped edge with tiny decorative loops. The dress is drawn in simple black lines with light shading, and the background is plain. The title *Rose des vents* is written in the corner—it means "rose of the winds" in French. This suggests the dress might be linked to fashion or movement, even if the sketch itself is still.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
