Description

The Water Lilies Seashell Gown captures the immersive beauty of Monet’s art. This dramatic, floor-sweeping version of our classic Seashell dress features charming puff sleeves, seashell-pleated underwire cups, and a flowing maxi skirt.  The words “Selkie” and “Claude Monet” are subtly present in the print. Claude Monet’s love for the water lilies in his garden at Giverny, France, inspired him to paint them 250 times. A contemporary art critic described Monet’s lilies as having "golden discs encased in purple, against the cloudy waters," expressing the wonder they inspired. Today, Monet’s original water lily paintings are housed in some of the world’s greatest museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris. Selkie is excited to bring the dreamy majesty of Monet’s paintings to our prints.
