Fil d'or
1956
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Fil d'or is a 1956 by Carven, depicting Gold, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a short jacket. The dress has a messy, leaf-like pattern in brown and beige. Her arms are out to the sides, and she’s wearing simple high heels. The word *Fil d’or* is scrawled in the corner—it means “gold thread” in French. The dress looks like it’s made from fabric with woven gold bits. Look up gold to see how artists used it in old textiles.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
