ANDRÉ COURRÈGES OR THE FUTURISM IN FASHION andre Courreges has long ago turned into the symbol and an emblem of the new, of the daring and youthful style, of the futurism in fashion. They call him Le Corbusier of fashion. andre Courreges made a huge contribution to the world of design in the 20th century. Some is attributed to his ten-year apprenticeship to the great Cristobal Balenciaga. This is theFrench designer who modernizes the idea of mini fashion and, staked so much on the main elements in womens clothing and to pay such serious attention to trousers, which were so much less popular until this time COURREGES was the first to express his understanding for “the cosmic era” in fashion and Its timeliness to the world around him.

 

Together with the mini style, he also imposes the trapezoidal shape in the design of the dresses, Known also as the A-line silhouette. In his work, he is strongly influenced by pop and op-art, As well as from the epoque cosmic achievements in the 60s.
