thanks for this thread .. i must confess i had actually never heard of him until today
i was researching hubert givenchy and i stumbled across this designer.. givenchy and dior both worked for lelong in there early carers .. and then i found this thread so found out more about him.. and im impressed .. his designs are so chic
and i can see inspiration and simularities between dior/givenchy and lelong
so he really is litterally the father of couture haha
