Anne Fontaine was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. At young age she developed a passion for the protection of the environment and took off on an adventure across Brazil. She spent several months in Amazonia, living at the heart of an indigenous tribe that would initate her into their customs and instill her with a love for natural materials and their virtues.
French on her father's side, her roots eventually led her back to France, and it was in Monaco that she would pursue her environmentalist initiatives with an organization working for the protection of whales. Shortly thereafter she would meet her future husband, with whom she would "get into fashion" beginning in 1993.
Anne's primary goal is allure, and this is where the key to her success is to be found; the very specific cut of her models and her mastery of material offers the wearer a second skin, a familiar and reliable piece of clothing that guarantes a natural and spontaneous elegance that can stm only from the natural sense of breathability that it gives to the woman wearing it.
