Antoine hairdresser ( history of fashion )

Josephine Baker was another one of Antoine's many famous clients. She wore his wigs like skullcaps for her stage performances. Born in Russian Poland, Antoine moved to work in the Parisian salon of hairdresser Monsieur Decoux. He acquired a following and cannily, Decoux took his star stylist to the fashionable seaside town of Deauville. There Antoine was introduced to the society he would coif for decades. On his return to Paris, Antoine set up his own salon, selling his own haircare and cosmetics range, the first to do so.

The peak of Antoine's carrer was the coronation of George VI, when he supervised 400 coiffures in one night.
