Louis Féraud (13 February 1921 – 28 December 1999) was a French artist and fashion designer with a career spanning from the 1950s through to today.
After settling down in Cannes, Féraud soon met Brigitte Bardot in 1953 and went on to design the wardrobe for the siren for many of her films. Known for dressing the Parisian Elite, Féraud soon presented his haute couture Fall / Winter collection in Paris in 1958 alongside such iconic couturiers as Lanvin, Givenchy, Dior and Balenciaga.
“Fashion is not created to separate people but to bring them together; it is a rendez-vous of love."
- Louis Féraud

He was known for his bold geometric patterns and for hiring unknown designers such as Jean-Louis Scherrer, Margit Brandt and Per Spook during the 1960s, giving young talent a chance in the brutal world of fashion.
