Darius
1959
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Darius is a 1959 by Carven, depicting Ensemble, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a simple black-and-white drawing of a woman in a sleek outfit. She’s wearing a long coat with wide lapels, a matching skirt that flares slightly at the bottom, and low-heeled shoes. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The artist signed it “Darius” in the corner, but the name might refer to the drawing itself, not the person. The sketch includes a flat back view of the coat and skirt, showing how it’s supposed to fit. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
