Agnès B man

Name: AGNÈS B man
Brand: AGNÈS B

By creating clothes that are both chic and casual since the 1970s, outfits skillfully mixing raw, even utilitarian pieces with subtly sophisticated elements, Agnès b . is one of the few who have definitively put their stamp on a style envied all over the world: that of the Parisienne. A little girl from Versailles fascinated by painting, a gifted fashion editor and self-taught stylist, Agnès Troublé opened her first boutique in 1975, rue du Jour. A concept store before its time, l'endroit is a creative laboratory, a concentrate of the freedom so claimed during this decade. A nice disorder reigns there thanks to the graffiti and posters which adorn the walls, the meetings which take place there and even the birds which fly there freely. Having become essential to any well-designed wardrobe, imitated but never equaled, the Agnès b . snap cardigan. was born in 1979. It is, certainly, a piece of disconcerting simplicity, but it is no less revolutionary in an age of endless knitted vests with its refined cut, its jersey inspired by sweatshirts. shirts and its round neck. Just as counter-current to the classic bourgeois look, the revisited work clothes, jumpsuits and overalls exude an unconventional nonchalance under the hand of Agnès b ., for whom clothing can only be a vector of style. Above all, it brings well-being, comfort and freedom. The Children's then Men's lines but also the opening of an art gallery will mark the following ten years, establishing the status of Agnès b . a multi-faceted businesswoman and mother of many children, never lacking in inspiration and creativity. The brand opens boutiques internationally where the Agnès b style. met with incredible success, while the stylist, always concerned by the issues of her time, got involved in a number of solidarity actions. We will remember, among other things, the famous red scarves, the proceeds of which were donated to associations fighting against AIDS which was raging in 1988. Today, particularly committed to the environment with the Tara Expeditions foundation, Agnès b - her life , his work - is l'objet of numerous books and exhibitions. Always up to date while carefully staying away from fleeting trends, the Agnès b look. is rife and still shapes the image of the Parisienne - and the Parisian - more than 45 years after its beginnings, in France and throughout the world.
