André Courrèges, né le 29 mars 19231 à Pau (Basses-Pyrénées), est un couturier français, fondateur de la maison Courrèges. Promoteur de la minijupe et du pantalon pour les femmes, dès le début des années 1960 il crée une mode fonctionnelle, architecturée, symbole de son époque, et qui inspirera à la suite de nombreux stylistes par ses formes géométriques et l’omniprésence du blanc.

André Courrèges (born 9 March 1923 in Pau) is a French fashion designer, known for his futuristic designs. At 25, after studying to be a civil engineer, he went to Paris to work at the fashion house Jeanne Lafaurie.[1] A few months later, he went to Balenciaga.
Courrèges was influenced by modern architecture, technology, new fabrics, and modernism and futurism in art and design. Several designers lay similar claim, including Coco Chanel, who worked with and knew many modern artists, and Mary Quant, whose career parallels those of Courrèges in some ways (both Courrèges and Mary Quant lay claim to the invention of the miniskirt). Courrèges pushed his ideas to the extreme, producing some of the 20th century’s most distinctive designs. (Wikipedia).
