Some women enter a room and something shifts. Not because of what they wear, but because they are entirely, unapologetically themselves. FORTANIER exists for her.

We design for women who define their own terms. Who construct identity with precision and wear it with intent. This is not a soft femininity, this is a considered one: femininity that can be sharp, architectural and uncompromising in presence.

A celebration of self-expression. Each piece begins as an idea, an exploration of form, proportion and tension A garment that communicates before language does. Power, without performance. Presence, without noise. A quiet insistence on taking up space - Always with a sense of play.

About the Designer

FORTANIER is founded by Dutch designer and creative director Eva Korsten. As co-founder and creative
director of YUME YUME, Korsten has built an internationally recognised footwear brand known for its
sculptural statement designs, establishing both a global press profile and strong international wholesale
presence.

With FORTANIER, she introduces a womenswear language entirely of her own. Building on her ongoing
fascination with the relationship between form, identity and narrative, Eva approaches clothing as
something that can communicate beyond function.

A Name carried forward

FORTANIER is a name with a personal history. It was the maiden name of Eva's great-grandmother –
inherited from one woman and now carried forward into something new. A name from the woman who came before, for all the women we become.
