Frédéric Castet

"or, Yves Saint-Laurent at the beginning in the house, then Frédéric Castet, the creator of the fur collections, and finally Marc Bohan when he became responsible for couture, were in turn asked to design raincoats and especially to attend the presentations of models at the creative workshop on Jules-César Street, sessions that Boussac’s passion for detail made exhausting."

"Without these initiatives questioning Jacques Rouët’s management, Boussac becomes more involved in the life of the great house. He decides to give the direction of fur to Frédéric Castet, although his resignation had been accepted by the London boutique where he was in charge of ready-to-wear, an area Boussac has always looked down upon: “You had harnessed a thoroughbred to a cart,” he says. He orders certain renovation works, encourages those with problems to come and talk to him, etc. Dior has become his favorite child."
