Pierre-Laurent Brenot (1913-1998) In 1928, he entered the École Estienne where he attended classes for three years. Then he continued his training as a designer with Fernand Hertenberger. Pierre-Laurent Brenot gifts of observation and precision in his pencil stroke were immediately noticed.During the fashion years (from 1936 to 1950), he was hired by Monsieur Chatard, a great tailor for men and women, in his Fashionable store, at number 16 boulevard Montmartre. He then created a line of men's suits. On his momentum, he produced numerous fashion designs for other great couturiers (Christian Dior, Jacques Fath, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Nina Ricci, Jeanne Lafaurie\.) as well as for the Lanvin and Rochas houses, or for milliners (Maude and Mano, Legroux, Paulette). From 1944, he began a career as a poster artist and illustrator. However, with the rise of photography in the sixties, this activity was reduced. Pierre-Laurent Brenot then reoriented himself towards his initial vocation as an artist-painter. See less
