St Nitouche
1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
St Nitouche is a 1958 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with a fitted bodice and a full, layered skirt. The skirt has a pattern of small flowers and leaves in shades of purple and gray. Her hair is styled in a short, curly updo, and she’s holding a small bouquet. The handwriting in the corner labels it *"St. Nitouche"*—likely the dress’s name. The artist used quick, confident strokes to draw both the dress and a tiny umbrella sketch in the bottom right. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion drawings.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
