Dominant colour
Cerceau is a 1955 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, dark blue dress with a square neckline and three white bows—one at the chest and two on the skirt’s sides. The dress is loose but shaped, with clean lines and no extra details. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands against a plain beige background. The sketch feels quick and confident, like a first idea rather than a finished design. The name *Cerceau* is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means here. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist who made this.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
