Saladin is a 1959 by Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with short sleeves and a fitted waist. Her hair is styled in a tight, curly updo. The dress has a simple front with three buttons, and the skirt flares slightly at the knee. Next to her is a small sketch of the dress pattern, showing how it’s cut. The artist signed it “Saladin,” but the name might refer to the design, not the woman. The loose, sketchy lines make it feel quick and modern. Check out 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.
