Established in 1945 by Madame Ji Haye, wife of Swiss industrialist Réné Grog (1896-1981), the House of Ji Haye originally catered to the petite woman.

The move was bold and innovative during that time. Niche market targeting was almost unheard of. But Madame Ji Haye who stood only 1m55 believed that petite woman should be able to dress up well also.

Through the years, the House of Ji Haye has expanded its reach, and currently designs, manufactures and markets a line of ready-to-wear and accessories for women, apparel and accessories for men plus fragrance and perfumes.

It has continued its line of haute couture for a very select clientele.

In 1995, Angelo TARLAZZI was appointed artistic director of Ji Haye.

Currently, Pascal MILLET holds that position.
