Pluie de Chine is a 1967 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, dark coat with big buttons down the front. Her hair is pulled up, and she’s holding a rolled-up umbrella. Next to her is a simpler outline of the same coat, but without the woman. The title *Pluie de Chine* means “China rain,” which might hint at the coat’s style or inspiration. The drawing looks quick and loose, like a fashion sketch. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
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.
