Anne Fontaine

A Brief History

Anne Fontaine is a Franco-Brazilian fashion designer, entrepreneur, business woman and philanthropist, born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Anne designed her first collection in 1993. Her taste for the natural is clearly expressed in the white shirt, to which she has brought a new face and unforeseen levels of diversity. What began as a collection of just white shirts has grown into a lifestyle brand offering a full collection of tops, bottoms, outerwear, knits, accessories, handbags, a home fragrance collection and an exclusive cosmetic skin-care line. Anne Fontaine opened her first store in the Rive Gauche section of Paris in 1994. Since then, she has expanded to over 85 boutiques worldwide, including flagships in Paris, Tokyo, & New York City, as well as the introduction of a retail/spa concept in their Paris Flagship in 2007. In 2011, Anne Fontaine launched her environmental philanthropic charity the Anne Fontaine Foundation.
