It was on an American friend of his mother that he sent his drawings to the New Yorker.
At age 17, Le-Tan was commissioned by the New Yorker Magazine for his first cover, which would mark the beginning of a long collaboration with many other American publications, such as Vogue, The Atlantic, Madame Figaro, Fortune and Harper's Bazaar.
Spanning over more than 50 years, Le-Tan's career included from set design for films and theaters, to designing over 100 book covers and film posters.
