Fashion History
Rose Repetto founded the brand in 1947 to create superior pointe shoes for her son, choreographer Roland Petit. The company gained international cultural significance in 1956 when Brigitte Bardot requested a comfortable street version of the ballet slipper for the film And God Created Woman. This led to the creation of the Cendrillon flat. Later, the brand became synonymous with French style through associations with figures like Serge Gainsbourg, cementing its role in fashion history.
