Toinette is a 1951 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, 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 blue-and-white checkered pattern. The dress has a deep V-neck and wide skirt that flares out slightly. Her arms are crossed, and the drawing is done in quick, simple lines with light shading. The handwritten label "Toinette" suggests this might be a design sketch, likely for a dress. The loose style and checkered fabric were popular in mid-century fashion. Check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
