In 1960, Daniel TRIBOUILLARD introduces the first "fully-fashioned" pullovers
with print designs and employs a unique new printing process
which receives an international patent.
In 1968, Daniel TRIBOUILLARD decides to create for LEONARD his first collection
of silk jersey garments
and in 1970, the first exclusive LEONARD boutique is opened in Paris.
In 1975, the first collections of produce under licence are conceived.
In 1983, Japan asks Daniel TRIBOUILLARD to create a line of LEONARD kimonos.
After one year, his first collection of kimonos is presented in Japan.
The politic of licence is asserted in 1985 and it will enablex LEONARD to create in quantity
for His exclusive boutiques all over the world.
In 1987, Daniel TRIBOUILLARD buys out the Jacques LEONARD's Group
as well as subsidiary companies and becomes Chairman the same year.
In 1992, the first LEONARD Men's collection is created.
And, in 1994, LEONARD joins the French Couture Federation.
The strategy for developing the name LEONARD has been fruitful
and the LEONARD Group has doubled the international turnover
and two news boutiques are created in Macau and Bangkok in 1997.
As of today, LEONARD owns 122 boutiques in the world.

Leonard's printing process of his extraordinary colorful prints pre-dates Emilio Pucci
The earliest of the Leonard pieces have become collectible
and are part of fashion museums all over the world.
The Company is still active and making exquisite clothing in his original processes.
As part of the French Couture, the line is shown twice yearly.
It is carried primarily in its namesake stores, but also in small vignettes
at Saks and Neiman Marcus and Bergdorfs in the states.
