Identity
While other Paris designers such as Jean Patou (whose sportswear department was directed by Lenglen) and Coco Chanel offered sporty attire as part of their collections, Régny was unusual in that sportswear was her primary focus. Along with Amy Linker and Jenny, Régny was one of the few French couturiers whose reputation was based on her sporty clothing, rather than other modes. She worked out of her own salon at 11, Rue La Boétie. She was assisted by her husband, who helped her develop a signature textile print for Alcot Fabrics in 1928.
