The famous painter's sailor
The influence of the marinière in fashion.
The marinière has become an essential element of women's fashion thanks to Coco Chanel, who introduced it during the Great War. Inspired by local sailors, she created short marinières, contributing to the liberation of the female body. This loose-fitting garment was made with simple fabric, due to the scarcity during that period, and Chanel sourced it from Rodier, a famous fabric supplier.
Over the years, the marinière has evolved from a provocative connotation to a luxurious one, becoming a staple in women's wardrobes. Karl Lagerfeld, in respect of the Chanel legacy, regularly revisited the marinière in his fashion shows, particularly for the "Cruise" summer collections.
In the 1950s, the marinière became a fashion symbol, reinforced by Jean Seberg's appearance in "Breathless" and Brigitte Bardot in "Contempt". Yves Saint Laurent then introduced the marinière in high fashion from his early collections, in a subtle manner.
The marinière was embraced by many personalities such as Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Brigitte Bardot, and the Mime Marceau, who posed in marinières for photographers. Orcival, based in Lyon since 1940, perpetuates the authenticity of the marinière and is renowned for its intricate weaving of "irregular stripes" in the 1952 model.
Today, the marinière remains a timeless symbol of fashion, associated with elegance and freedom. It continues to inspire designers and captivate fashion enthusiasts.
The 1952 model refers to the year when the famous painter wore this marinière. The weaving of this fabric with "irregular stripes" is highly complex and requires true craftsmanship, which the Orcival manufacturer has never ceased to perpetuate.
Today, numerous copies of the marinière exist in the market, but none of them can match Orcival's.
