1970s Bead & Crystal Couture Galanos Gown designer-suzy-perette Around each cuff and completelyGalanos was known as the designer that could rival the French in terms of construction and design. He launched his atelier in 1951 and though he was never a designer that was formally made a couture house he certainly produced clothing with many of the hallmarks that define couture, thus giving him the status as being known as one of the "American Couturiers".
