Ted Lapidus born June 23, 1929 in Paris. He was the son of a Russian immigrant tailor who opened his fashion house in 1958. He started his own fashion in 1951 and gained reputation in 1960 when french celebrities wear his design like Brigitte Bardot and Alain Delon. He was also known as "designer of the street" in the 1960 fashion revolutionary.
Ted Lapidus was one great French designer , creator and pioneer of unisex fashion designer clothes looks. And with making blue jeans part of the mainstream of fashion design."Ted was the first designer of the nouvelle vague [new wave]," Lapidus's sister, Rose Torrente-Mett, told Agence France-Presse. "The whole world knew him."
After becoming a member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, Paris's exclusive high-fashion club, in 1963, Lapidus soon diversified the business into accessories, which he believed had a more lucrative future.
And he was dubbed as "the poet of high fashion" by president Nicolas Sarkozy and extended his condolences on his family, like his father Olivier Lapidus will continue his father works.
A funeral service will be held for the designer on Friday. He will be buried in the rambling Père Lachaise cemetery in eastern Paris.
