In 1975, Agnès Troublé opened her first boutique at 3 rue du Jour in Paris, in a former butcher's shop. For over 50 years, the agnès b. house has embodied a timeless, independent and committed approach to fashion, remaining entirely family-owned. Its iconic pieces such as the press-stud cardigan, artist t-shirts, cotton basics — transcend generations without ever bowing to trends. A collector, patron and activist, Agnès Troublé supports contemporary art through her Galerie du Jour, the environment through the Tara Foundation, and the fight against AIDS since 1988.
