LOUIS FÉRAUD

Louis Féraud founded his Parisian couture house in the mid-1950s and was soon dressing the French elite, including Brgitte Bardot, for whom he designed the wardrobe for many of her films. Together with Pierre Cardin and André Courrèges, Louis Féraud was one of the pioneering couturiers of the Space Age in the 1960s. His most sought-after pieces include his printed jersey dresses in bold colors from the 1960s and 1970s and opulent evening wear from the 1980s and 1990s. In 1969, Féraud signed a contract with the German manufacturer Fink for a high quality ready-to-wear collection that was extremely successful well into the 1990s.
