They wear agnès b., they talk about it.
Manon, styliste freelance, on rue Grancière, Paris.
What are you wearing?
I’m wearing a Saint-Malo blue cardigan that was gifted to me—a piece I wear very often, almost all the time. I paired it with a kilt I found in a thrift store a few years ago. I added a blue cotton bucket hat and my agnès b. silver pins. The woven bag was sourced in a souk in Marrakech this summer—I haven’t let it go since. And a pair of small heels I found at a flea market, whose slightly aristocratic feel—with the buckle at the front—actually reminds me a lot of Agnès.
How did you put this outfit together?
I like wearing strong pieces that almost make the whole outfit on their own, like the kilt. Small details like the silver pins are important too. I always think carefully about color combinations—the navy blue of the cardigan with the brown tones of the kilt and the bag. I enjoy taking an outfit all the way, telling myself a story through what I wear. This time, I wanted a slightly retro silhouette, very thrifted, almost like a Parisian you might come across at a flea market.
What is your relationship with agnès b.?
I worked for the brand for a year, so naturally I have a very strong connection to it. It’s a very human, very family-oriented house, and Agnès is exactly as you imagine her: free-spirited, rock, entirely herself. It deeply influenced the way I see fashion and made me want to move toward styling. I still wear the brand for what it represents, not just for the clothes.
