602 - Henry-Raymond Fost (1905–1970) and Jenny Carré (1902–1945) were an indispensable duo of costume and set designers who left a profound mark on the world of entertainment, musical theater, and French music hall during the interwar period. Already well-known by the 1920s, the designer and costume artist Jenny Carré took the young Henry-Raymond Fost under her wing beginning in 1930.

Together, they designed costumes for the capital’s most prestigious revues at legendary venues such as the Casino de Paris (notably for the 1938 productions *Amours de Paris* and *Féerie de Paris*, starring Mistinguett and Maurice Chevalier). They collaborated with leading artistic directors such as Henri Varna. For example, they designed the costumes for the famous production of *La Veuve joyeuse* presented at the Théâtre Mogador beginning in 1942, as well as for the play *Valses de France*. Costume sketch “Collégiens” Gouache, watercolor, graphite, and silver highlights with annotations. 24 x 32 cm.
