23. MARITHE FRANCOIS
GIRBAUD
In 1964, two different yet complementary
characters crossed paths: Marithé and
François Girbaud. This was the start of a 40-
year collaboration between two designers
skilled in combining technology and creativity.
Marithé and François Girbaud brought a new
approach to fashion: more popular and more
industrial, inspired from the work-garment.
Constantly researching fabrics, washes and
treatments, they worked tirelessly on the
shape, function and construction of the
clothing. It began in 1970 with the
industrialisation of fading, followed in 1972
by the “Stone Wash” process which
revolutionized denim. From stone to light.
They now use laser to treat the denim - a
process that is 97.5% waterfree:
WATTWASH™. As talent discoverers, imbued
with visionary spirit, they influence the
market.
24. Timberland
The Timberland adventure began in
New Hampshire, U.S.A. in 1952. The
Abington Shoe Company
created the Yellow Boot in 1973:
comfortable, water-resistant, durable,
this boot guarantees both
comfort and long-lasting protection.
In 1978, the Timberland brand was
born. The qualities of comfort,
strength and functionality of
the Yellow Boot have become the core
values of Timberland products in
footwear, apparel and
accessories for men, women and kids.
