Agnès B. Spring/Summer 2026 / SS26 at Paris Fashion Week 50 Years of Style

For this season, Agnès Troublé takes us on a journey through the history of her style — a celebration of fifty years of creativity, freedom, and timeless elegance. Her designs, rooted in humanism and tenderness, continue to bridge precision and spontaneity, comfort and sophistication.

Today, agnès takes us on a journey through the history of her style. What is this particular force that has carried her work with such power — into the intimacy of each person, across the world, and throughout a lifetime?

For agnès, everything begins with touch: it all starts with fabric. It must be very soft, yet strong, and full of character. Her sketches are flat, technical, and precise — just like every detail of the cut. For many years, she would try the clothes on herself. If they are to be elegant, she wants them first to be comfortable — even friendly: we should be able to truly live in them, to move, raise our arms, “hug, have lunch, run…” There are almost always pockets, to serve us or simply to give us poise. Each garment carries something of her humanism and her tenderness.

Her clothes are alive. They tell stories and could even be seen as characters. For agnès, who defines herself first and foremost as a stylist, she doesn’t start from scratch: she draws upon familiar wardrobes — workwear, farm clothes, uniforms at times; costumes that inhabit paintings, that move in films… They are true cultural artefacts which she makes her own. She renews a shared imagination while giving it a freshness that seems entirely natural to her. Free, she advances by “side steps”: taking a fine and precious fabric for workwear, using an undergarment knit and wearing it on top, treating a sports material in “coupé-couture” style…

It is also because agnès loves to tell herself stories. “Let’s pretend we would be…” is one of her favourite starting points. She has a rare talent for restoring nobility to a humble material, such as butter muslin, or for popularising a detail of courtly fashion — like that famous 18th-century buttoning set onto the fleece of a sweatshirt. agnès is a master of gentle revolutions, of reconciling opposites. Through her styling, she does far more than dress us: she shares, in the most intimate way, stories that bring us together — while allowing each of us to be ourselves. What could be more fitting, or more subtly political?

The exhibition “Humanity” at La Fab’, running from November 20, 2025, to March 22, 2026, is an immersion Into the heart of the agnès b. collection to explore the Human condition. It features works by major artists such As Jean-Michel Basquiat, Seydou Keita, Nan Goldin, and Gilbert & George. The exhibition highlights the singularity of Each individual while questioning the bonds that unite us.
