'Yemen' is a 1949 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a draped skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a necklace with a flower brooch. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes that catch the fabric’s movement. The drawing’s title, *Yemen*, doesn’t match what’s shown—it’s likely a mislabel or inside joke. The artist signed it “Carven,” but the style feels more like a fashion study than a cultural portrait. Check out Carven to see more of their sleek, modern designs.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
