Marc Bohan

Roger Maurice Louis Bohan (22 August 1926 – 6 September 2023) was a French fashion designer, best known for his 30-year career at the house of Dior.

He worked as a designer for Madeleine de Rauch in 1952, before briefly opening his own Paris salon and producing one collection in 1953.

In September 1960, Dior's creative director Yves Saint Laurent was called up for military service; Bohan was promoted to replace him.

[6] In 1989 Bohan left Dior, before joining the house of Norman Hartnell in London,[7] where he worked for the label until 1992.

[citation needed] Bohan's first wife, Dominique Gaborit, whom he married in 1950, died in a car accident in June 1962.
