The Lady in a shirt When she founded her eponymous brand in 1993, Anne Fontaine chose the white shirt as the centerpiece of her signature wardrobe. Through a variety of cuts and fabrics, the Franco-Brazilian designer reimagined this iconic and timeless piece in countless ways. Over the years, Anne Fontaine has continued her pursuit of minimalist elegance, expanding her collections to include wool trousers, knit dresses, embroidered tops, and tailored coats.
