Jacques Fath
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacques Fath (Sep 6, 1912 - Nov 13, 1954) was a French clothing designer based in Paris. He presented the first collection from his house in 1937, working out of a two room salon on Rue de la Boetie. The studio was later moved to a second location on Rue Francois Premier in 1940 before his house finally setted into a third, permanent location at 39 Avenue Pierre 1er de Serbie in 1944.[1]
Fath hired a number of young desingers as assistants and apprentices, some of which later went on to form their own houses, including Hubert de Givenchy, Guy Laroche[2], and Valentino Garavani[3].
