Founded by Jean Patou in 1914, the Parisian house originally revolutionized fashion by freeing women from corsets and pioneering sportswear, dressing muses like tennis star Suzanne Lenglen. After the founder's death in 1936, the house saw a succession of iconic designers including Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Christian Lacroix before it ceased its fashion activities in 1987.
