Equipment was founded in 1975 from an idea of Christian Restoin, husband of the ex Editor in Chief of French Vogue, Carine Roitfeld. The idea was to revolutionize the concept of classic women's shirt, a principle still valid and carried out by Serge Azria, current creative director of the brand since the spring of 2010, creating garments that combine French sophistication with a chic and timeless style.
