He designed dresses and coats, made with original fabrics, in collaboration with Sonia Delaunay. He is one of the pioneers of ready-to-wear with his Heim Jeunes Filles line launched in 1936, and Heim Actualité in 1950. He creates a two-piece swimsuit made up of a ruffled bra and pretty bloomers, which he calls the Atom. In 1956, Heim made the bikini an international sensation when Brigitte Bardot wore one of his models. His House closed in 1969.
