Palets d'or
1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Palets d'or is a 1958 by Carven, depicting Gold, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a bright yellow dress with a deep V-neck and a gathered skirt tied at the waist. The dress flares out at the bottom, and she’s wearing simple black heels. To the right, there’s a flat outline of the same dress, showing its shape without fabric. The word “Palets d’or” is written in the corner—it’s French for “golden palettes,” hinting at the dress’s sunny color. The sketch is loose and quick, like a fashion idea rather than a finished drawing. Next, look up Carven to see more of this designer’s work.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
