Courréges trained under Balenciaga for eleven years before launching his own house in 1961. By 1964 he had completely shaken the fashion world with his Space Age collection with vinyl, geometric cuts, white go-go boots, and hemlines that had never been seen before. He wasn’t just designing clothes, he was designing a new idea of what a woman could look like. Bold. Liberated. Forward-moving

This is an original from that moment. RC logo on the chest, white snap hardware throughout, cropped and structured in that signature Courrèges cut. Vinyl was a radical material choice for the time, utilitarian, modern, completely unbothered by tradition
