Vieux Mexique
1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Vieux Mexique is a 1951 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a deep V-neck. The skirt is long and flared, with bright floral patterns near the hem—reds, greens, and purples. The woman’s pose is relaxed, one hand resting on her hip. The title *Vieux Mexique* hints at inspiration from Mexico’s old traditions, but the dress itself looks modern. The bold colors on the skirt contrast sharply with the black fabric. Next, check out Carven to see more of this designer’s work.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
