Rejected whilst he was briefly employed at L’Oréal, it was brought out again after the war in the exhibition he organised with Bernard Villemot featuring their designs; it captivated Eugène Schueller, the head of L’Oréal, and proved a resounding success.
Savignac was rightly able to say: ‘I was born at the age of forty-one, from the udders of the Monsavon cow’.
