agnès b. time after time

From the beginning, agnès b. developed a style that was subtle, chic and casual all at once, which helped to turn the parisian into a fashion icon, a “style, a state of mind.” “clothes, for me, are all about feeling in harmony with yourself to be able to think about something else. they are only a means. if i can help people to feel good, to feel attractive, so much the better, that’s what brings me pleasure.”
In 1973, agnès b. registered her brand name. the idea behind the name dates back to the 60s, when she was working for elle magazine and one of her articles had to be signed. “i wasn‘t prepared. […] i said: ‘just put agnès b.,’ as they do in news items, when they don’t use the full name. and then i devised the logo with my handwriting.”

1975, The first shop!

“for a long time, i wanted a place where i could show clothes which weren’t exactly styles, but very simple clothes and along with them a few pieces which would make them more feminine. i’m very fond of that mix of very simple, slightly rough clothes, and things which are softer.”
agnès b. opened her first store in an old butcher’s store in les halles in paris, in the central market of the city. at the time, the area was going through a radical change. this first boutique served as both office and workshop, but it was also a focus for expression and encounters: on the walls there were posters and graffiti, you could sit and chat or listen to music, and birds flew freely around the store.

1979, The snap cardigan creation

1980, Opening in New York

The 116 prince street, first store in new york, is opened in 1980, in soho. in the process of change, this district was still industrial, like the halles during the 70's. "We felt like pionneers, as rue du jour in paris." american journalists have quickly interest in the collections, so parisian.

1984, Opening of the galerie du jour agnès b.

“I wanted to create a gallery to be able to display what I like. It’s called a gallery but it could be called a place to show behind and beside the scenes, to show painting, sculpture, photographs and, each time, at the same time, to try to invent new ways of disseminating the images, to make them accessible to all: drafts, stencils, screen prints, engravings, etc. You will also find exhibitions there put on by the galerie. The place is still rough, still a bit like a butcher’s shop. I hope that it will become a vibrant place people will want to come back to, and hang around.” Open since 1984, the galerie du jour is a contemporary art gallery which has shown the works of lots of artists.

1997, The "point d'ironie"

“Yes, it was my love of art that led me into the adventure of the Point d’Ironie which we produced between 100,000 and 300,000 copies of, and which is offered all over the world, in galleries, museums, coffee shops, schools, cinemas and “agnès b.” stores to reach the widest possible audience. The idea was, in the era of electronics, to offer works on paper, to touch, to read, to frame, file away…” Approximately 4 times a year, agnès b. and Hans Ulrich Obrist give free rein to a guest artist. Made up by the French writer Alcanter de Brahm at the end of the XIXth century, the “Point d’ironie” is a punctuation mark used at the end of sentences (as an exclamation or a question mark) to point ironic passages in a text.
