Sycomore is a 1959 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, light-colored dress with a fitted top and flared skirt. She’s holding the skirt’s sides, standing sideways with one leg slightly forward. The dress has a small bow at the waist and a matching bow on the skirt’s hem. To the right, there’s a flat drawing of the dress’s back view, showing how it’s cut and sewn. The drawing looks loose and quick, like a first draft. The artist used simple lines and soft colors, focusing on shape over detail. If you like this style, check out Carven.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
