JEAN-LOUIS SCHERRER

Jean-Louis Scherrer, a former classical dancer, obtained a diploma from the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne before being trained in the excellence of couture and Parisian elegance by the master Christian Dior. In 1962 the House of JEAN-LOUIS SCHERRER was founded at 182 Rue du Faubourg, Saint Honoré, in Paris.

In 1971 the JEAN-LOUIS SCHERRER BOUTIQUE was opened at 51 Avenue Montaigne, and a ready to wear line was launched. This prestigious address became a lavish kingdom "where everything evoked fluidity, softness, and virtuosity... and was inspired... ". JEAN-LOUIS SCHERRER's jackets and cocktail, draped dresses in animal prints, floral and spotted prints became classics.

In 1979 the house launched its first fragrance, "JEAN-LOUIS SCHERRER", followed by two others, "SCHERRER 2" (1986), "NUITS INDIENNES" (1994).

Over time the house has dressed the greatest celebrity names: the Kennedy family, Sophia Lauren, Raquel Welch and many more.

JEAN-LOUIS SCHERRER is a constantly evolving brand, with Erik Mortensen being named artistic director in 1992, and the launch of a Ready-to-Wear line for men in 1999.
