This popular mid-Century clothing brand made affordable high quality ready-to-wear apparel. A sister label to Suzy Perette was Gigi Young Fashions label (late fifties to 1966). This label followed the same successful style formula of Suzy Perette but as a less expensive line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuzy Perette was greatly influenced by Parisian fashions featuring the New Look silhouette of a cinched waist and full skirt.
