They wear agnès b., they tell us about it.

Georges, 35, co-founder of Creative Duty agency, boulevard Beaumarchais, Paris.

What do you wear?
My father's fetish shoes, which are about to become mine. I actually wear one of his clutches as a scarf. A pair of vintage navy blue pants with pleats, which I like to keep low so that they break a little on the shoes. Silver jewelry, each from a different brand, but which I like to combine to create my own daily panoply. The iconic agnès b. cardigan, in black with mother-of-pearl buttons.

Why did you choose this (these) piece(s) from the house?
I always hesitated to take the plunge, but then I saw it worn in different ways and thought it would go well with several pieces in my wardrobe. I like the idea of being able to wear it buttoned up or casually draped over the shoulders.

What do you like about this silhouette?
As simple as these pants look, their cut, material and volume easily dress up any outfit. With the black cardigan bringing the softness of fleece and the detail of mother-of-pearl buttons, I found it terribly effective. Add to that a few accessories, and it's a silhouette that suits me well. 

What is your relationship with clothing? 
I think I inherited this passion from the male figures in my family. My grandfather and my father were always well-dressed, with the right combinations of colors, patterns and materials. Naturally, I love thinking up new combinations to make with the pieces in my wardrobe, and hunting out the ones I might be missing. And I must admit I have a particular affection for vintage, which allows me to own rare, quality pieces. In fact, I think I spend a little too much time in the morning finding the outfit that will be my sidekick for the day...

What is your relationship with agnès b.? 
From memory, these are pieces that have always been present in my family, at my mom's or my sister's for example, with that famous cardigan. As I work in the art world, I've also always observed the brand in parallel with the founder's work.
