Agnès B opens combined boutique and gallery space in New York

(Agnès B.)

French designer Agnès Troublé, founder of the Agnès B. fashion label, has always been a big supporter of the arts. This week, there is new proof with the opening of her SoHo store and gallery.

Located in the same district as her first US store, inaugurated in 1980, the new store at 50 Howard Street, New York combines men's and women's clothing with rotating exhibitions by up-and-coming artists as well as those that have already been featured at her Paris gallery, Galerie du Jour.

It feels like the entrepreneur's vision has come full circle after she started 'importing' exciting New York artists and presenting them in Paris.

Agnès has also asked friends such as the artists Ryan McGinness, Rostarr, Dan Colen, and Ryan
McGinley to contribute new designs for her Artist T-shirt line, many of which will be exclusively be available at the new store.
