Elle doit son nom à celle qui l'a pour ainsi dire «inventé» un peu par hasard, la duchesse de Fontanges. En participant à une chasse royale, les rubans qui retenaient sa coiffure s'étaient décrochés et la jeune duchesse s'était recoiffée avec sa jarretière. Le roi XIV l'avait complimentée et la coiffure devint très vite à la mode. 5, record 1, French, - fontange
