Premet was a Parisian fashion house in operation from 1911 to 1931. Mme. Premet was the house’s original designer. She was followed by a Mme. Lefranc and then by Mme. Charlotte, who presided from 1918 through the 1920s, the firm’s most successful period. Her “La Garconne” model, a simple black dress was her best seller; the house’s “Gamine” looks were also popular as well as influential.
Alix Gres worked for a time at Premet prior to establishing her own business.
Premet was one of a brilliant roster of French fashion houses that flourished in the 1920s, including Agnes, Drecoll, Redfern, Molyneaux, Jean Patou, Paul Poiret, Worth, et al.
