About the designer: Louis Féraud was born in 1921 in Arles, France. He met Brigitte Bardot in 1953, and after she wore one of his dresses in public, it started a run of Féraud. In a week 500 dresses were sold. After that, he dressed Brigitte for several of her films.
In 1955 he moved to Paris where he opened a ready-to-wear salon.
In 1956 he opened a boutique in Paris for clients including actresses Kim Novak and Ingrid Bergman as well as Danielle Mitterrand, wife of the late French president Francois Mitterrand. As much artist as couturier, he kept painting throughout most his life, crafting stylish nudes, landscapes and flowers which were exhibited and sold in Paris and New York.
In 1990 his paintings of naked angels on exhibit in Japan sold for the same price as his haute couture masterpieces.
Féraud created several perfumes for the American company Avon and made contributions to the work of other designers, including Daniel Hechter and Jean-Louis Scherrer.
