Emmanuelle Khanh was a leader of the French ready-to-wear revolution. She began her fashion career as a model for Balenciaga, but left in 1960 to start her own label. Khanh’s fresh, bold designs were greatly influential, both to other ready-to-wear designers and to couturiers. This “Op Art” dress from 1966 was featured in Mademoiselle.
