Edouard is a 1955 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman walking sideways, wearing a bright red coat with sharp lines and pockets. Her hat has a flat brim, and she holds something small in her left hand while her right arm rests at her side. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her simple but bold outfit. The artist signed it "Edouard," but the name might be a nickname or a mistake—it’s not the woman’s name. The drawing feels quick and sketchy, like a fashion study. Look up Carven next—they were a real designer who worked with bold lines and colors like this.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
