Vert-bois is a 1958 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a quick, loose drawing of a person wearing a simple outfit. The lines are rough but confident, showing a long-sleeved top with buttons down the front and a straight skirt. The person’s pose is casual, with one foot slightly ahead. The sketch focuses on the clothes, not the face, which is barely suggested. The label “Vert-bois” is handwritten in the corner—it might hint at the color or style. Next, check out womenswear in the 1930s to see how this outfit fits into fashion history.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
