They wear agnès b., they talk about it.

Bluma, social media lead and creative, Eloi, social media manager, with Mycki, Place Saint-Sulpice, Paris.

What are you wearing?
Bluma — A classic from my wardrobe: wide-leg trousers, a small top, and an agnès b. cardigan. Not forgetting, of course, a pair of prescription sunglasses—without them, I can’t see a thing! And a star-shaped hair clip, a little nod to the iconic agnès b. star. On my feet, a pair of shoes I feel comfortable walking in—always.
Eloi — A simple, comfortable outfit: wide raw denim jeans, a long-sleeved agnès b. T-shirt that I love, and my black mother-of-pearl snap-button cardigan. I insist on mentioning the pearly effect—I was absolutely set on it, I find it sublime.

How did you put this outfit together?
Bluma — I have quite a collection of agnès b. cardigans, and I usually build my looks around that piece. When I wear this one—the grey cashmere cardigan—I like pairing it with low-rise trousers: because it’s a bit short, it reveals a hint of skin, and with nice colorful underwear it always adds something extra. What I love is adapting the look depending on the fabric and the cut of the cardigan: fastening only the first snap, leaving it open or fully buttoned, wearing my boyfriend’s for a looser fit, or the small grey cashmere one for a crop-top effect… I love this piece because you can really play with it and dress for any occasion. I mostly wear clothes I feel cosy in, and that’s where the cardigan plays a key role—it can literally elevate any outfit.
Eloi — My agnès b. cardigan is kind of like a second skin. It goes with everything, so I don’t even need to think about my outfit—I know it’s going to be cool just because I’m wearing my cardigan.

What is your relationship with agnès b.?
Bluma — For me, it’s a real love story. First because the brand has always been part of my life—my parents’ wardrobe, and then my own. I even inherited a beautiful leather cardigan—yes, I have a slight obsession with cardigans—that belonged to my mother. It’s still in perfect condition 30 years later, just as timeless. I was also lucky to have a ritual with my parents: every back-to-school season, we’d go to the Saint-Sulpice boutique to buy the essentials I’d need for the year—pieces I still wear today.
If I had to dress in just one brand for the rest of my life, it would be agnès b. My dream would be to get married in agnès b. (and maybe even be buried with my cardigan) (laughs).
Eloi — What I love about agnès b. is that these are chic pieces you can completely reinterpret. I wear a lot of baggy jeans, sweatpants, and so on, and all it takes is a cardigan over any look to feel comfortable anywhere and with anyone—whether I’m in Sunday loungewear or dressed up for a meeting.
