Oeillet d'Inde is a 1963 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 long, black dress with bright orange and purple floral patterns. The dress has a high collar and long sleeves, and she’s holding a small orange bag in one hand. Her hair is drawn as a simple shape with a bright orange bow on top. The title, *Oeillet d’Inde*, means "poppy" in French, which might hint at the flower-like patterns on the dress. The drawing has loose, quick lines and flat colors, giving it a stylized feel. If you like this sketch, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
