Alain Richard will become one of the first French designers, embodying this new generation that Solange Gorse, editor-in-chief of La maison Française, described as "generation of young wolves" in view of his enthusiasm, his vitality and his ability to compete with Scandinavian or American productions while retaining the qualities of a French style. Among these "young wolves": Pierre Guariche, Joseph-André Motte, Michel Mortier, André Monpoix, Antoine Philippon and Jacqueline Lecoq, René Jean Caillette, Pierre Paulin ... they are now rediscovered like Pierre Paulin.
