Agnès b. and the Louvre are collaborating this autumn to launch a unique collection of clothing and accessories inspired by museum works that shaped the famous designer's aesthetic. She has immersed herself in the light and poetry of two landscapes by Claude Gellée, known as Claude Lorrain (1600–1682), seeking to put them 'into clothing' and 'into motion'.
Agnès b. often uses garments as a medium for her photographs, which she shoots specifically to be applied as an all-over print on a particular textile. In this way photo prints, as a link between art and clothing, become an invitation to contemplation for the designer, who discovered the Musée du Louvre when she was eleven. Captivated by Titian's Man with a Glove and his gaze beyond the frame, she dreamed of being a museum curator.
