agnès b. celebrates 40 years of iconic design with an art exhibition in NYC

FACC Member agnès b. recently welcomed friends of the house to the opening of “... PHOTOGRAPHERS ... ARTISTS AND THE SNAP CARDIGAN" at 195 Chrystie Street in New York City. 

The snap cardigan, agnès b.’s most iconic design, is celebrating its 40 year anniversary. As a part of this celebration, she has given carte blanche to more than 70 photographers and artists from 14 different nationalities to capture the garment in a singular photograph whose main subject is the snap cardigan. The result is a noteworthy, diverse collection of images that agnès b. is proud to present. The exhibition represents a truly unique culmination of personalities, elements, and works that speak to the timelessness and adaptability of the forever garment. 

This exhibition echoes the first snap cardigan exhibition held at agnès b.’s Galerie du Jour in Paris as part of Mois de la Photo in 1986, where 140 photographers originally contributed to the exhibition. Each were asked to photograph the iconic snap cardigan in his or her own way. Acclaimed by the public and critics alike, the exhibition was then held at the Centre Pompidou in 1996.

Highlights include commissioned works by David Lynch, Jim Jarmusch (with Chloe Sevigny), Juergen Teller, William Strobeck, Maripol, Ryan McGinness, Martha Cooper, and Cheryl Dunn, among a plethora of others.

The exhibition will run until March 1st. View more details.
