Tornade is a 1952 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, knee-length coat with big lapels and a wide belt. Her long sleeves are rolled up, and she wears a matching dress underneath. The lines are quick and light, like a quick pencil sketch. The name "Tornade" is scrawled in the corner—maybe the outfit’s nickname. The drawing feels like a quick idea, not a polished work. Check out Carven for more of their fashion sketches.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
