The Fontana sisters, with their atelier, they were the first to give a lively impulse to Made in Italy, thus making the Italian style famous in the world. After the war, the Fontana sisters launched their own style, inspired by an almost Renaissance line characterized by tight bodices and soft and wide skirts, created with an abundance of high quality fabric.
They contribute to founding in the1953the SIAM - Italian High Fashion Union (later became the National Chamber of Italian Fashion).
They have dressed Italian and international actresses as well as worldly celebrities with their clothes.
Some of their creations are exhibited at the Metropolitan, at the Guggenheim in New York and the Louvre in Paris.
