Hyperbole was André Courrèges’s second ready-to-wear label, and it offered clothing at even lower prices than his Couture Future line. Designs from both ready-to-wear collections were presented alongside his couture fashions, and all three collections bore similarities to one another. Courrèges believed that a democratic approach to fashion was crucial to the concept of modernity.
