Didier Ludot

Didier Ludot's temples to vintage haute couture appear in Printemps, Harrods and New York's Barneys. The prices are steep, but the pieces are stunning: Dior, Molyneux, Balenciaga, Pucci, Féraud and, of course, Chanel, from the 1920s onwards. Ludot also curates exhibitions, using the exclusive shop windows around the Palais-Royal as a gallery.

Didier Ludot stocks his own line of vintage little black dresses, also available at La Petite Robe Noire (125 galerie de Valois, 1er, 01.40.15.01.04).
