Ted Lapidus(1929-2008) opened a boutique to sell his designs in Paris in the 1950s. In 1963 he was admitted to the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. Through the 1960s and 1970s he produced ready-to-wear for both men and women.
In 1982, Ted Lapidus retired and his son Olivier became the head at the house of Lapidus. The business was acquired by Jacques Konckier, who held the Lapidus perfume licenses, in 1995.
Lapidus proved influential outside France, too, and was the first designerto persuade Twiggy to wear a suit and tie rather than a mini-skirt. John Lennon was another admirer and in 1969 he asked Lapidus to design a white leather bag to house a set of 14 erotic lithographs he had made. Known as \"Bag One\", the limited edition of 300 bags incorporated zips, handles and a lock, as well as Lennon\'s signature in black, and was hand-stitched in Italy and later autographed by the Beatle. An exhibition of the lithographs at the London Art Gallery in January 1970 attracted the attention of the Vice Squad, though their attempt to prosecute Lennon for obscenity failed. \"Bag One\" originally sold for £550 and has become extremely collectible. In the Seventies, Lapidus diversified into perfumes and accessories; in the Eighties he began attracting outside investors to his company and eventually sold it.
