During the 1920s and 1930s, the French couturier Jean Patou was Chanels main rival: day pajamas, jersey sportswear, swimwear, and the little black dress were all among the innovative designs marking Patous remarkable, albeit brief, career as the king of Parisian fashion. With his untimely death at 49, he had only fifteen years to make his mark on the history of couture, yet in that short time he amassed a colossal fortune, opened shops and studios in Paris, Deauville, Biarritz, and New York, and invented some of the worlds legendary fragrances, including Joy and Que Sais-Je.
