Early life and education
Touitou was born in 1951 to a Tunisian Jewish family. He was then "a revolutionary militant for a few years" and arrived in Paris from Tunisia in 1960; he studied at L’Ecole Alsacienne, and earned a degree in history from the Sorbonne.
Career
Touitou's first role in the fashion industry was landing an entry-level job "by accident" at Kenzo Takada's French luxury house Kenzo in 1975. Touitou founded A.P.C. (Atelier de Production et de Création) in 1987. He served as a “ghost designer” for a number of brands, including Joseph to earn money during A.P.C.'s early years when the brand was not yet profitable.

Touitou opened a private kindergarten Ateliers de la Petite Enfance (A.P.E.) in 2008.
