About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with bright orange flowers on the skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s holding the dress slightly away from her body. Next to her is a quick sketch of the same dress on a hanger, showing the back view with a bow at the neck. The loose, quick lines and flat colors make it feel like a fast, rough draft. The flowers on the skirt stand out against the plain background, drawing your eye. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.

Carven

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