Fashion
Designer
France
•
He
was born on July 30,1938 in Paris, France. By
1956, Louis Féraud and Jacques Esterel were
selling his designs, and he founded a Company
in 1960.
Brigitte Bardot helped bring his designs to
a wider audience when she wore one of his outfits
in 'La Parisienne'.
He was also a key financial contributor in the
early years of the football team Paris Saint-Germain,
and also produced clothing ranges for skiing
and tennis in 1971. In 1997, he retired to Geneva,
Switzerland, and his novel Le Boss was published
in 2000. He is now perhaps most famous for the
extremely annoying adverts on TalkSport. It
was never thought any advert could annoy anyone
more than the Sunraysia ads from a few years
ago until this came along.
