Sarcelle is a 1959 by Carven, depicting Polka Dot, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a high collar and three pockets on the front. The dress has a fitted waist and a flared skirt, and she’s wearing simple black heels. To the right, there’s a flat drawing of the dress without the figure. The name “Sarcelle” is written in the corner—maybe the dress’s code name. The artist used quick, loose lines to show fabric texture. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
