Equipment

Back in 1976, women's fashion was on a roll, driven by a flourishing yet cautious ready-to-wear industry. Smocks, blouses and tunics were all the rage... a flurry of silhouettes that Christian Restoin would set out to revolutionize. Possessing a distinct taste level and discerning eye for style, Restoin introduced men's shirts into women's wardrobes with the launch of his brand Equipment - transforming a men's classic into an item of women's clothing with glam appeal. Straightforward yet innovative, Equipment, characterized by its refined tailoring and timeless appeal, quickly became a recognized name amongst the fashion elite. In Spring 2010, Serge Azria, a visionary and well known name in the industry, who also owns the successful fashion lines JOIE and Current/Elliott, re-launched Equipment as ceo and creative director. Known for his cunning eye and distinct knowledge of the fashion landscape, Azria saw a void in the contemporary women's marketplace for a luxury shirt brand that catered to the modern woman.
