At the young age of 22, Edmond “Ted” Lapidus began his company after completing his apprenticeship with Christian Dior. The French designer found his footing in the 1960s with unisex fashions, adding details with safari and military themed designs. He’s often credited for helping blue jeans become the mainstream icon they are today.

Ted Lapidus designed for both stars and the public. Average households found fashion more affordable through mass marketing the brand utilized. In 1970, he teamed with L’Oreal to offer fragrances.
