Louis Féraud (1921–1999) opened his first fashion house in Cannes in 1950. When Brigitte Bardot bought one of his dresses there, his name spread quickly, and he went on to design her wardrobe for many of her films. By the mid-1950s he had moved to Paris, dressing the city's elite from his couture house on the Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
In the 1960s Féraud was known for graphic, mod-era dresses and suits; in the 1970s his look became softer and more romantic. His haute couture earned him the Golden Thimble award twice, in 1978 and 1984. That pairing of confident colour with precise construction carries through to his ready-to-wear: wool and cashmere jackets with a strong shoulder, statement buttons and dresses built on bold contrasts.
In the early 2000s the German Escada group took a majority stake in the house and focused it on womenswear. If you love that era, take a look at our pieces from Escada too.
In vintage, Louis Féraud's dresses, jackets and suits are the most sought-after pieces, clothes in which the French couture tradition is still very much alive. Look closely at the lining and at how the buttons and buttonholes are finished. Every piece is one of a kind, hand-picked and carefully measured flat by us, so you know exactly how it will fit. A Féraud jacket works effortlessly with simple trousers or a skirt; a Féraud dress really only needs good shoes.
Browse our vintage dresses and vintage jackets and coats, or discover more fashion houses in designer vintage. With vintage couture, pay close attention to shoulder width and waist: older sizes often run small, which is why every piece lists the measurements we took ourselves.
Buying a Féraud jacket or dress means choosing clothes designed to stand out without shouting. In vintage especially, you find the fabrics that make the difference: pure wool, cashmere blends and silk, often with a solid lining and carefully finished buttonholes. Pieces like these slot effortlessly into a modern wardrobe, whether you wear them to the office or out to dinner, and they carry a piece of French fashion history that simply isn't made any more.
