1955
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Océanide 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 long black dress with blue floral patterns. She’s holding a cigarette in one hand and has her hair pulled back. The skirt is wide and flows down to her ankles, while the bodice is simple with thin straps. The title *Océanide* suggests a connection to water or sea nymphs, but here the focus is on the dress’s bold floral design. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, lively feel.
