History

Founded in 1961 by André Courrèges, the brand became a pivotal force in 1960s fashion history. It is credited with popularizing the miniskirt and introducing the Space Age look, characterized by stark white palettes and go-go boots. Courrèges shifted haute couture toward a more architectural approach. The house significantly influenced the democratization of fashion by prioritizing movement and technological innovation over traditional, restrictive silhouettes.
