LES INDIENNES DE NÎMESFOR AGNÈS B.

… the story between Edween Malaval and agnès b. began well before their meeting in 2012 … before Edween walked in the fashion show for agnès b. and became her favorite model!

In the 70s, agnès b. and the painter Robert Malaval, Edween’s grandfather, regularly met to listen music in his studio on rue du Pont Louis Philippe.

In the 60s, Edween’s grandmother, Ivy Nicholson, icon and Andy Warhol’s muse, had already a big admirer in the person of Ado Troublé, president of the Bar and father of agnès b.!

So many strange and wonderful connections, which weaved the thread of their friendship and mutual inspiration …

Each season, for a few years now, agnès b. has invited a young designer to present their work during the agnès b. défilé. These designs always bear the name of the young designer on a special label. Beginning with Ljilja, a young Bosnian from Sarajevo invited in 2004; Sanna, a young Finnish

designer who created about ten models in 2011; Adrien Beau and his smart dandy cloakroom of winter 2014; Jerome Pierre and his graphic silhouettes in 2016; Anne Blanchard and her 40’s

inspiration looks in 2017; Laure-Hélène Vaudier in 2018. And now it is Jain who is this season’s guest designer, whose collection designed with agnès b. is already available in shops!

agnès b. has always lived with music!

From Bob Marley’s 33 Tours that she

played in her very first shop opened

rue du Jour in 1976 to the web radio

recently launched, the music has always

occupied an important place. Listen to her

musical choices and her cartes blanches,

now possible all over the world and

continuously...

For her men, women and children spring-summer

2019 collection, agnès b. takes hold of the

mythical Spring Court “Tennis” shoes, created in

1936 by Georges Grimmeisen, its founder who

was fascinated by this new sport at that time.

As an obvious fact, the collaboration came from

the meeting of these two committed houses,

fervent ambassadors of the French chic worldwide,

initializes the era of a new aesth-etics

Symbols of several generations, their models

seduce with their timeless elegance and their

unique know-how.

This is why those sneakers born from their

association have simple and uncluttered lines

whose black and white colors reveal the famous

lizard, the emblematic agnès b. logo, dressing

for the occasion the eternal tennis shoe of its

recognizable between all pop graphics.

TARA’S BACKIN

For more than 10 years, Tara Foundation, led by Etienne Bourgois and with agnès b.

as the main partner, has organized research missions aboard the schooner

Tara to measure the impact of the global warming on the ecosystems.

Having set out in May 2016, Tara will arrive in Lorient on October 27th from its 11th expedition dedicated to coral

reefs and their evolution in front of climate change. taraexpeditions.org

With about 36 000 samples picked up, Tara Pacific (2016-2018) is the biggest campaign never undertaken on coral

reefs and is a turning point in the research on the ocean.

IN OCTOBER 27TH

After a first meeting with Jérôme Coumet, Mayor of the 13th arrondissement in Paris, agnès b. decided to establish La Fab, a place for everyone, in this neighborhood which is currently reinventing the city.

In this new building, which includes social housing, designed by the architect Augustin Rosenstiehl, agnès b. will arrange themed exhibitions in a space of 1400 m2, based on her collection of over 5000 works.

You will also find the Galerie du Jour agnès b. as well as its famous bookshop; and you will be able to find information about our social action projects to help the community and the progress made by the Tara Expéditions Foundation, which agnès b. has supported for 12 years.

During construction work, the Galerie du Jour is on the move and we remain active!
