André Courrèges

André Courrèges was born on March 9, 1923 in Pau, France and became particularly well known in the 1960s for his futuristic designs and his “hard chic”. After studying civil engineering and bridge construction, he moved to Paris at the age of 25. There he worked for the Spanish designer Balenciaga, to whom he assisted for eleven years. In 1961 he opened his own studio with his future wife. With his fashion, Courrèges wanted women to be more youthful and positively change their lives. So he managed to make the hitherto frowned upon miniskirt - designed by Londoner Mary Quant - socially acceptable and brought it to the catwalks of haute couture.
