General info :
Venet was the abbreviated and eponymous brand name used by Philippe Venet (born 23 May 1929 in Lyon, France - died 22 February 2021, Paris, France), a French fashion designer.
After training at the École Professionnelle des Tailors de Lyon he apprenticed at age 14 with a local dressmaker, Pierre Court, who was authorized to reproduce Balenciaga designs.
In 1951, Venet moved to Paris and worked as a cutter at Schiaparelli. While there, he met Hubert de Givenchy, following him when established his own label two years later. Venet served as head cutter at Givenchy until 1962 when he also went solo.
At his own brand, he "dressed the social set and 'all the Kennedy ladies,' as one reporter put it, infused conservative clothes with a youthful spirit."

According to Olivier Gabet, director of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, Venet's clients included arts patron Hélène David-Weill, actress Jacqueline Delubac and American society figures Mica Ertegun, Jayne Wrightsman and Marina Kellen French.

He was husband of Hubert de Givenchy.

Venet died at the American Hospital of Paris on 22 February 2021 at age 91.
