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.
