Serpentine is a 1952 by Carven, 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 deep V-neck and a fitted waist. The skirt flares out slightly, and the dress has a row of small, flower-like embroidery near the hem. She’s wearing purple gloves, a matching hat, and pointed black shoes. One hand rests lightly on her hip, while the other holds a cigarette holder. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and minimal shading. The word *Serpentine* is scrawled in the corner, maybe the dress’s name. Check out Carven for more fashion sketches like this.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
