Si faceva chiamare la "Femme Bottier", o anche semplicemente Julienne (il cognome di famiglia rimane un mistero) e fu la prima donna a raggiungere la fame come designer di calzature negli anni Venti. Madame Julienne proveniva da una famiglia di calzolai e aprì la sua boutique al numero 235 di Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Parigi nel 1919 (1) dove rimase almeno sino allo scoppio della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Aveva inoltre altri due negozi a Cannes e a Biarritz.
She used to call herself the “Femme bottier”. Madame Julienne - or simply Julienne (her family name is still unknown today) - was the first woman to achieve fame as a designer/maker of elegant women shoes in the early Twenties. She came from a family tradition of shoe makers and opened her boutique in Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 235, in 1919 (1). She was still there before the last World War. She also owned two other showrooms in Cannes and Biarritz.

Nel 1925 partecipò all'Esposizione Internazionale di Arti Decorative e Industriali di Parigi e negli anni Trenta approdò nel mercato americano.
Julienne si specializzò in calzature da ballo e in modelli pronti molto raffinati, ma non trascurò lussuose produzioni fatte a mano e su ordinazione. Il suo stile le valse la scelta di designer come Worth per accompagnare le sue collezioni.
In 1925, Julienne attended the "Exposition Internationale Des Arts Décoratifs Et Industriels in Paris and in the Thirties she found her way to the American market.
Julienne was specialized in dance shoes and refined ready-to-wear models, but her production included luxury handmade and custom shoes and she was stylish and innovative enough to be chosen by designer like Worth to accompany his collections.
