Gérard Pipart began working at Nina Ricci in 1964. Although he was keenly interested in designing couture, his background was in ready-to-wear – he had previously worked at the forward-thinking Chloé label. Pipart brought the daring, vibrant appeal of ready-to-wear into his couture creations, such as this ensemble worn by “It” girl Jane Holzer.
