The fashion designer Anne Fontaine is a genius alive with exposure and capabilities in so many areas. Her fashion ideas have made a huge impact on feminine styles and identities. And as we know, they are a key fashion plate here in Las Vegas, as around the world.

One of the staples in her fashion line is the iconic white shirt for women. When asked about her inspiration for the style, she believes that “a white shirt is a timeless elegance and one with which each woman can express herself”. We know that all women have white shirts and they all take on different “roles” in their wardrobes. A lot of appreciation and thanks goes to Anne Fontaine for her love of the white shirt! And part of the awesomeness of a white shirt is the fact that it can be worn casually, dressy, or elegantly!

Style definitely influences the Fontaine fashion world and she believes that women’s style should reflect and highlight each woman’s personality. As we know, when each of us shop for clothing, we know the styles we like and those that others like. It’s comes in great when shopping for gifts for friends and family too. When asked about style, Fontaine replied, “Being stylish is a story of having your own look, sometimes in advance or in lag. My style is timeless elegance and femininity.”

Fontaine believes that women connect with her designs simply because they like “her style and its French touch.” She also believes that the fabric and craftsmanship in her clothing is a huge appeal to ladies. We know that the classic styles and design in the Anne Fontaine line are key.

Anne’s love of Paris is a huge incentive for her designs and she believes that “lavish and diverse fashion” in Paris provides key essentials for designers. Her creativity and designs reflect that and will continue to do so.
