The agnès b. brand, with its timeless designs and Parisian spirit, is well-loved by people of all ages. The year 2023 marked forty years since agnès b. first arrived in Japan in 1983; Japan has always been second only to Paris in significance for founder and designer Agnès Troublé, and the brand celebrated this important anniversary with several projects, including the release of “my agnès b. story” on its website.

This book, a reedited version of that series, features forty stories from actors, musicians, and creatives whose mindsets resonate with agnès b. as well as fashion professionals who work with and love the brand.
