It all started in the basement of her parents. At the age of 14, Anne danced in different contemporary groups unable to find comfortable dancewear, so she began to design her own. For 10 years, she designed costumes for Nafro Dance Productions which awoke her awareness of movement and cultural sensitivity. These guiding principles paired with her emphasis on comfort and style continue to inspire her collections today.

In 2009, Anne changed operating names to Voilà par Andréanne to emphasize her French heritage. At this time, her designs evolved into more structured clothing that was still comfortable, but not strictly casual wear. Today she operates as you know her, Anne Mulaire—a name she is proud to bear, and a label you’ll be proud to wear.

Anne was raised to embrace her Anishinaabe/French Metis héritage, respect all people, and honour the planet we share—teachings that have guided her as a businesswoman, a designer, and most importantly as an individual. Her mother, Huguette, taught her the importance of honouring and respecting mother earth and to never ever forget where she came from. Her father, David, influences Anne through his art and brings his talents to the label by creating Métis prints for the company’s Heritage Collection.

Today, Huguette and David still work tirelessly and selflessly alongside Anne—motivating and inspiring her creations.
