22 - LOUIS FÉRAUD.

LOUIS FÉRAUD. Cocktail dress in pink satin, velvet, and black sequins. The low-cut, draped crossover bodice is framed by wide bands of sequins. Long velvet sleeves. The gathered fuchsia-pink satin skirt is adorned at the hip with a large two-tone bow. Size 40 A Riviera fashion designer who became a leading figure in Parisian haute couture, Louis Féraud made color and volume his signature. Brigitte Bardot, whom he dressed for some twenty films, launched his fame. He presented his first haute couture collection in 1958, alongside Dior, Balenciaga, Lanvin, and Givenchy. With its bold colors and flowing lines, this dress evokes the audacity of Yves Saint Laurent: the same taste for bright colors, the same sense of silhouette.
