His exploits so impressed the brothers Gerard and Patrick Pariente (Gerard & Patrick Pariente), that they decided to perpetuate the name of the heroic young pig, naming his company after him.

After some time, they decided to try their hand at creating their own clothing collections, designed mainly for girls aged 18 to 25 years. In 1978, the presentation of the first collection took place. One of the things included in it was an unusually shaped denim jumpsuit. This model is called Naf Naf. Frankly, it was with him that the brothers were most dissatisfied and even thought about just quietly “writing him off” and pretending that there was no futuristic overalls. But suddenly this jumpsuit became a real bestseller. Moreover, such that he gave a name to a new brand (officially the brand Naf Naf was registered in 1985). Since then, jumpsuits have been a mandatory component of all collections. Naf Naf.
