While it is not uncommon today for houses to be associated with artists, the maison FRED was one of the first to shake up the codes by collaborating with leading figures in the visual arts. In 1962, Fred Samuel transformed Jean Cocteau's poetic drawings into gold. Less than ten years later, he joined forces with Bernard Buffet to mount a butterfly on an enamel brooch, then, in 1979, worked with Miroslav Brożek.
