Verveine
1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Verveine is a 1958 by Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with a wide skirt and a fitted top. Her pose is loose, one leg slightly bent, as if she’s walking. The dress has a mix of soft browns and light peach, with a few loose dots scattered on the skirt. The artist’s handwriting in the corner reads “Verveine,” which might be the dress’s name. The drawing feels quick and lively, like a snapshot of movement. If you like this style, look up Carven next—they designed many famous clothes.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
