General info :
Bernard Perris is the eponymous brand name used between 1969 and 1994 by Bernard Perris (Born: Millau, France, 5 October 1936 - died 2 August 2010, Montpellier, France (aged 74)), a French fashion designer.

He studied fashion design at Cours Bazot School and later became Assistant to Marc Bohan, assistant designer to Guy Laroche, 1960-61; designer for Jacques Heim, 1961-63; designer for Dior, 1963 and designer for Paul Bon, 1964-69.

In 1969 he opened his own ready-to-wear firm, Bernard Perris Nouvelle Couture in Paris and in 1986 he opened a store in New York. Perris became particularly popular in America, appealing as he did to the big-spending, flashy customer who wanted to be seen in his bold yet high-quality clothing, and he established a Madison Avenue shop in New York. He did not shrink from personally promoting his clothes in the U.S., presenting trunk shows for wealthy buyers from Beverly Hills to Las Vegas and often appearing at in-store events and charity dinners.
Chosen in 1985 by the "Best" committee as one of the 10 most elegant men in the world, Perris created clothing for a high-profile, international clientéle, including several film stars. He designed all the women's costumes for the 1986 film Max, My Love, in which actress Charlotte Rampling wore 10 different Bernard Perris ensembles.

His acceptance into the Chambre Syndicale du Prêt-á-Porter des Couturiers and des Créateurs de Mode finally validated Bernard Perris' long and fruitful, if uneven, career.

In early 1994, he closed his business to regroup after a business partner's retirement.

On a personal level his absence from the fashion world did not last long. In August of 1994, Perris was appointed as the couture and haute couture designer for the Paris house of Jean-Louis Scherrer. While in the position, Perris received critical praise and expanded his reputation for designing elegant and sumptuous clothing. The Scherrer house was bought by François Barthes in 1997 and Stephane Rolland took over designing in 1998.
He died from cancer in the South of France in 2010.
