Marie Antoinette born November 2nd 1755 at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna as Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna, known as Madame Antoine. She was an Archduchess of Austria and the Queen of France and of Navarre as consort of King Louis XVI. She was the fifteenth and penultimate child of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and Emperor Francis I of Lorraine.
Marie Antoinette was an important figure in the history of fashion and beautycare (as well as furniture and interior design) because with her elegant taste and her tendency to extravagance, she invented a style that is still known as the "Marie Antoinette's moyenne style", halfway between the Teresian Rococo and french Neoclassicism.
She was an extraordinary woman who despite all the misunderstandings, the young and the calumnies of which she was the victim, has always loved her adopted country, seeking to promote the French court's elegance in the world, singing the praises of the weavers, the milliners, the tailors, embroiderers and of all french craftsmen, especially Rose Bertin, her couturier, Monsieur Léonard, her hairdresser and Monsieur Boehmer jeweler/goldsmith of the french court.
Equipped with a unique taste and sensibility, she was the fashion icon not only in France but also in all other European courts, who had a love and sincere admiration for her style and her person.
256 years after her birth, Fashilosophy pay homage to the myth of a Queen who after so many years after her tragic death, is still object of admiration and is still considered an international style icon.

Marie Antoinette fu un personaggio importantissimo nella storia della moda (ma anche dell'arredamento) perché con il suo gusto elegante e la sua propensione alla stravaganza inventò uno stile che ancora oggi è conosciuto come "moyenne", a metà tra il Rococo teresiano e il Neoclassicismo francese.Fu una straordinaria donna che nonostante tutte le incomprensioni, la giovane età e le calunnie di cui fu vittima, amò sempre la sua patria adottiva, cercando di promuovere l'eleganza della corte francese nel mondo, cantando le lodi dei tessutai, dei modisti, delle sarte, dei ricamatori e di tutti gli artigiani francesi in genere, in particolar modo Rose Bertin, la sua couturier, Monsieur Léonard, il suo coiffeur e Monsieur Boehmer gioielliere/orafo di corte.
Dotata di straordinario gusto e sensibilità, fu l'icona della moda non solo in Francia ma anche in tutte le altre corti europee, che ebbero per il suo stile un amore e un'ammirazione sinceri.
A 256 anni dalla sua nascita, Fashilosophy vuole rendere omaggio al mito di una Regina che, dopo così tanti anni dalla sua tragica scomparsa, è ancora oggetto di ammirazione ed è ancora considerata internazionalmente una icona di stile.
Long live the Queen!
