The French fashion house Courrèges was founded in 1961 by André Courrèges (1923-2016). André Courrèges was a former engineer who turned to fashion after working as an assistant to Cristóbal Balenciaga. Courrèges' designs were known for their futuristic and minimalist aesthetic, which was inspired by the Space Age and the youth culture of the 1960s.
Courrèges' most iconic designs include the miniskirt, the go-go boot, and the geometric A-line dress. He also pioneered the use of new fabrics and materials, such as vinyl, PVC, and synthetic fibres. Courrèges' designs were embraced by young people around the world, and he became one of the most influential fashion designers of the 1960s. In the 1970s, Courrèges' designs became more sophisticated and feminine, but he continued to experiment with new materials and silhouettes. He also launched a successful line of ready-to-wear clothing.
