Synopsis:

Since opening her first shop in Paris in 1975, agnes b. has been dedicated to creating timeless designs. Snap cardigans, striped T-shirts, strapless dresses, mini skirts, leather pants--her unforgettable pieces mix classical influences with street style. In line with her motto that 'the street makes fashion,' she has developed her own stylistic language that is subtle, chic, and casual. This richly illustrated clothbound book explores her signature approach to design, the history of the brand, and her continuing influence, which extends beyond fashion to the worlds of art, film, publishing and music. Presenting design sketches, press clippings, photographs byagnes b., and the work of photographers such as Peter Lindbergh, Dominique Issermann, Ellen von Unwerth, Bruce Weber, Gilles Bensimon and Jean-Baptiste Mondino, agnes b.: l'histoire explores the far-reaching influence of the brand, celebrating the complexity and creativity of the agnes b. universe.

Review: 'A new book called Agnès B: Styliste celebrates the 40-plus years that this has so far spanned, which has resulted in her heading up a fashion empire with a turnover of 300 million and hundreds of international stores 141 of them in Japan, where she is so famous that they chase her down the street . . . For anyone who first fell in love with fashion in the Eighties, this part-memoir, part-scrapbook is a delight.' --The Daily Telegraph

'Since her first shop opened in Paris in 1975, Agnès B. has created unforgettable clothes. This tome explores her approach to design and the history of the brand.' --Canary Wharf Magazine

'The tale of Agnès accession and the consequent success of the brand is joyfully told in this new book; always capturing the free spirit of a woman who refused to compromise on her instincts or vision. In spite of their global success, the brand has never spent a dime on marketing.' --TheCultureTrip.com
