"In the shadow of his studio on rue d'Orcel in Paris, Léo Tissandié imagines Art Deco dresses, refined suits, avant-garde combinations that he puts down on paper in a few quick strokes of the pencil, before entrusting them to the most prestigious Parisian haute couture houses. At the service of Chanel, Jean Patou, Lucien Lelong, Maggy Rouff, Jeanne Lanvin, Doucet, Molyneux, Madeleine Vionnet or Marcel Rochas, he is one of those creators who, since the Roaring Twenties, have been shaping French elegance.
