Equipment

Originally launched by Christian Restoin in 1975, Equipment is now widely known for being the brand that introduced mens shirts into our wardrobes by transforming the mens classic into a glamourous item of womens clothing. This simple yet innovative idea quickly gained Equipment Paris wide recognition amongst the fashion elite and was both admired and sought after for its refined tailoring and timeless appeal.

Inspiration for the brand was drawn from American 50s films and their stars such as Katherine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall. The label remained under Restoins supervision for 20 years before being passed over to Serge Azria, a visionary and well known name in the fashion industry. Azria relaunched Equipment in 2010 showcasing a collection that recalls the classic undertones of the original designs fused with androgynous silhouettes, luxurious fabrics and a vast range of prints and textures offering a more contemporary approach whilst still retaining the labels heritage.
