This original poster was made for Chargeurs Réunis, a major French shipping company based in Marseille. René GRUAU 🇮🇹 (1909-2004) was a French-Italian illustrator, poster artist and painter renowned for his illustrations for fashion and advertising. Moving to Paris in 1928, he began working for magazines such as Le Figaro and the hat magazine Marianne.

His collaborations with women's magazines multiplied: Gruau illustrated Vogue, Fémina, Marie-Claire, Silhouettes, L'Officiel de la couture... He drew the sumptuous models of Balenciaga, Fath, Piguet, Givenchy, Molyneux, Rochas...
