In charge of buying and supply for department stores in wholesale department - Paris
You’ve been at agnès b. since? October the 1st, 1982.
Your first memory associated with agnès b.? Typing and sending télex to our Prince Street store in New York that were dictated by Jean-René De Fleurieu (Agnès' ex husband and associate) or Jean Touitou (A.P.C. founder) when I was working for a former company. One of its directors, Jean-Pierre Bamberger, was a close friend of Agnès and I met her thanks to him.
agnès b. for you? A Philosophy, a state of mind, more than a brand.
Your favourite piece? A leather fifre blouson, the first big piece of cloth I bought in 1984!
How would you describe Paris' spirit? Culture, monuments, diversity, openness, freedom but a hive, indifference, noise, too.
Your hobbies? Sport (gymnastics every morning, biking, walking and swimming during holidays), taking care of plants and flowers.
A dream? Peacefully living at the tide's pace in a small house facing the sea in Brittany.
