Label Text:Louis Féraud opened his couture house in Paris in 1955. By 1967, he was determined to create ready-to-wear fashion that maintained the design integrity of his couture line. Féraud’s distinctive color blocking technique – crafted from inset, curving pieces of boldly-colored wool – softens the sharp silhouette of this mini dress.
