courreges

Founded in 1961 in Paris by André and Coqueline Courrèges, the house of Courrèges revolutionized 1960s fashion with its futuristic, Space Age aesthetic. André Courrèges, whose design approach was heavily shaped by his time working under Cristóbal Balenciaga, introduced a radical vision of modernity characterized by geometric cuts, above-the-knee hemlines, and the pioneering use of unconventional materials like vinyl and neoprene. The brand became culturally synonymous with the youthquake movement, offering a stark, optimistic contrast to the restrictive couture of the 1950s.
