1953
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Sérail is a 1953 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with sharp blue lines running down the front. Her skirt flares out slightly, and she wears round earrings and simple shoes. One arm stretches out to the side, while the other rests on her hip. The word *"Sérail"* is written in the corner—it might hint at an exotic or historical influence, though the dress looks modern. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost playful feel. If you like this style, try looking up womenswear from the 1930s for more dresses like 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.
