Andrée Brossin de Méré (1915–1987), who came to textile design by way of the theater, was commissioned in 1948 by a group of Swiss weaving mills to create fabrics for the Paris haute couture houses. The public was soon intrigued by her innovative designs for Christian Dior and Hubert de Givenchy. In 1967, the designer founded her own business in Paris called Les tisseurs B de M, with a branch in Zurich. Brossin de Méré’s fanciful and creative design approach can be seen in her richly varied collages of historical drinking glasses as repeating fabric patterns.
