Guy Laroche was a French fashion designer and founder of the eponymous company. Laroche began his career in millinery and, from 1949; Laroche worked for Jean Desses and eventually became his assistant. In 1955, he visited the U.S. to investigate new ready-to-wear manufacturing methods. 1956 or 1957, he founded a high-fashion atelier at 37 avenue Franklin Roosevelt, Paris. In his first collection that was favourably received, he reintroduced vibrant colors such as pink, orange, coral, topaz and turquoise. His clothes also featured plunging neck and back lines. Known as being humble and gracious as opposed to the haughty nature of most Parisian designers he designed haute-couture but practical clothing for women. And, for the American market, he was one of the first to create separates. In 1966, Laroche introduced Fidji, his first women's fragrance; designed men's ready-to-wear; and opened the Guy Laroche Monsieur boutique. He created many other perfumes and colones.
