Our Story
A legacy of luxury, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance since 1985
The Beginning of an Elegant Legacy
In a small Parisian atelier, two visionaries—French designer Sophie Laurent and British entrepreneur Frederick Sinclair—forged a partnership that would redefine luxury fashion.
Their shared passion for exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design led to the creation of F&S, a brand built on the principles of quality, authenticity, and enduring style.
What began as a bespoke tailoring service for European aristocracy has evolved into a global luxury house, while maintaining the personal touch and attention to detail that defined our humble beginnings.
