Fort la joie is a 1962 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a quick, loose drawing of a woman in a bright red coat and matching skirt. The coat has two pockets and a simple collar, while her hair is pulled back under a hat. The lines are sketchy, almost like a quick fashion doodle. The title *Fort la joie* is written in the corner—it’s French for “fortune” or “joy,” maybe hinting at how clothes can lift your mood. The paper looks slightly worn, like it’s been handled a lot. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
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.
