Poule mouillée - Pluviose is a 1967 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark coat with a belted waist and a wide-brimmed hat. Her coat is loose but structured, with a hint of movement in the fabric. The lines are bold and confident, leaving the background mostly blank. The sketch feels quick and lively, like a snapshot of someone walking by. The name on the paper, *"Poule mouillée - Pluviose,"* hints at a playful or poetic title, but it’s not clear what it means. Next, check out 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.
