Does savoir faire collocate with develop?

There are no hits on COCA*, fraze.it, or Google Ngrams for "develop savoir faire", if that's what you're looking for.

'have' and 'lack' and their synonyms are the chief verbs used before 'savoir faire' according to Google Ngrams.

Hi

'Savoir faire', in English, is used if you are referring to how a person behaves amongst middle or upper class people. 'He has savoir faire' just means that a person knows how to act in that situation

How a person develops amongst other people - in all kinds of ways - is different

I'd say they don't collocate
