Louis Feraud

Féraud's affiliation with celebrity is almost part legend. His fame started when Bridgette Bardot wore one of his creations in Cannes. Since then, Féraud has dressed some of the world's most beautiful women - Catherine Deneuve and Kim Novak to name a few. He died from Alzheimer's in 1999 at the age of 78. After his death, his house was taken over by the same year that the house was taken over by Dutch firm Secon, which now shares ownership with Féraud chairman Michael Rover and Escada AG. Yvan Mispeleare took over as Creative Director. In March 2002, Mispeleare left Féraud and was replaced by Belgian designer Jean-Paul Knott. Since the 2006, Jean Pierre Marty has taken the creative helm at Feraud.
