"Jacques Heim" was a French fashion designer and costume designer for theater and film, and was a manufacturer of women's fur clothing/furs. From 1930 to his death in 1967, he ran the fashion house (maison de couture) House of Jacques Heim, which closed in 1969. He was president of the Paris haute couture/Chambre Syndicale de la haute couture from 1958 to 1962, a period of transition from haute couture to ready-to-wear clothing.
