VIBE

Designer Anne Fontaine created her first elegantly simple, hand-stitched collection of white women’s blouses in 1993. Since then, as her line has taken off (and has it ever!), she’s started to expand into other separates and mix some fun urban frivolity into the designs. She creates 500 new pieces each season, all with her trademark tailored aesthetic.

WHY WE LIKE IT

It’s the place to pick up chic, eye-catching work wear. (Frankly, the designs are so fun, we like cooking up casual outfits to incorporate them, too.)

GOOD TO KNOW

Anne Fontaine’s newest venture, an eponymous spa, is tucked away underneath the boutique. Her designs are also carried in department stores Printemps and Galeries Lafayette (Blvd. Haussman flagship only). Keep your eyes peeled for her latest endeavor: an elite collection of blouses hand-assembled from haute couture fabrics.
