Overview

LES COMPLÉMENTS DE is a sportswear line launched in 1979 by French designers Marithé Bachellerie and François Girbaud. In the parent brand’s official history, it is introduced after the knitwear line “MAILLAPARTY” as a line with a light and feminine direction. It is positioned not as an independent standalone brand, but as part of the MARITHÉ + FRANÇOIS GIRBAUD brand’s offerings.

    In 1979, a sportswear line was introduced following MAILLAPARTY. The official brand history describes it as a line with light, feminine accents. Its focus and approach to clothing differed from those of the parent brand, which centered on denim, and MAILLAPARTY, which specialized in knitwear; it served to add sportswear to the brand family.
