About this work
Overview
Kiki is a fashion drawing created by the designer Carven around 1958. The work is part of the collection at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts a woman wearing a simple red dress with a belted waist, shown both in a sketch of the figure and a flat drawing of the back view. The name 'Kiki' is inscribed in the corner, possibly as a nickname for the dress.
Technique & Style
The sketch is executed in a loose and rapid style, conveying the overall shape and style of the dress. The contrast between the sketched figure and the flat drawing of the dress's back highlights the design's details.
