Since 1958, Leonard creations have been unmistakable and based on

an original concept: a flower laid on silk. The House of Leonard is a unique

label, invariably associated with the art of fabric printing, and

has succeeded in translating the cheerful and colourful world of

couturier Daniel Tribouillard, who invented the revolutionary printing

process of the «fully-fashioned».

This book complements the first international exhibition dedicated to

the designer ( Musée des Tissus, Lyons, 7th April - 8th October, 2006 ). It

brings an exclusive prespective on one of the main exporters of French

fashion and luxury goods in Asia, but also on the remarkable work of

Lyons fabric finishers, with whom Leonard has always worked.
