Dominant colour
Arequier is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleek dress with a V-neck and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a small headband with a brooch. The dress has a subtle row of dots near the hem. To the right, there’s a quick line drawing of the dress from the front. The artist signed it “Arequier” in the corner, but we don’t know much else about it. The sketch looks like it was done fast, with loose brushstrokes and minimal detail.
