Editor’s Pick: Mademoiselle Agnès

A sharp-witted Parisian, Mlle Agnes (AKA Agnès Boulard) is renowned as an incisive fashion documentarian, journalist and comedic force. She is the epitome of effortless French-woman-chic and has been an irreverent voice in French fashion for over two decades. The French ritually tune into her television shows after every fashion week to revel in her hilarious impersonations and interviews of key fashion insiders, designers and critics. And, with her long-standing collaborator LoÏc Prigent she has produced 'Signe Chanel', the documentary, which gave us front row seats to the world of Couture. As a style icon in her own right, she shares with us her favourite Re-SEE looks.

Agnès epitomizes what her friend and collaborator Loïc Prigent once described as “A Paris lady. She smokes in the building even if it’s forbidden.”
