(the initial is a nod to Bourgeois, her first husband&#8217;s last name), which now boasts 332 stores around the world. In 1984, her creative ambitions came full circle when she opened Galerie du Jour, a Parisian art and photography exhibition space and bookshop. The 74-year-old art patron now helms three such galleries &#8212; along with a film-production company and her own contemporary-art publication. In New York for Frieze, she shares with Alexa a few of her favorite treats and togs.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Kazou Ohishi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"bodyreadMessagePartBodyControl1672f\" data-link=\"class{:~tag.cssClasses(PlainText, IsContentFiltered)}\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nypost.com\/2016\/05\/05\/french-fashion-legend-agnes-bs-favorite-new-york-finds\/#1\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/nypost.com\/2016\/05\/05\/french-fashion-legend-agnes-bs-favorite-new-york-finds\/#1<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Today, May 1st, 2016<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/agnesbofficiel\" data-user-id=\"552783710\"><strong data-aria-label-part=\"\">agn\u00e8s b.<\/strong> \u200f<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">@<\/span><b>agnesbofficiel<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><small><\/small><\/p>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"en\" data-aria-label-part=\"0\"><strong>AUTO BODY 8-Ball Radio Presents agn\u00e8s b. + Ryan McGinness Live today at 4pm!

Artist\u2019s T-shirt collection. The installation, titled <em>Signals: Units of Meaning: Drawings of Elements &amp; Compounds<\/em>, will be shown at the agn\u00e8s b. Galerie Boutique at 50 Howard Street in SoHo, New York. Products in the installation will include a T-shirt, mugs, a vinyl tote bag, patches, a skateboard, site-specific wallpaper and a large-format painting. On the occasion of the installation, agn\u00e8s b. will also publish a limited-edition 480-page soft cover book of the same name.<\/p>\n<p>Known for his use of graphics and iconography, McGinness took the idea of his T-shirt design from <em>Signs<\/em>, his installation of fifty fabricated street signs that were installed in the streets of downtown New York in the summer of 2014. Produced by the New York City Department of Transportation, the street signs were installed along the route of the Summer Streets program, where seven miles of streets are designated car-free and open to the public to play, run, walk and bike.<\/p>\n<p>The T-shirt McGinness created is a unique design with double sleeves, a short sleeve sewn over a long sleeve, meant to represent the way McGinness wore his t-shirts as a teen in his native Virginia Beach. Inspired by early 90\u2019s skate culture, the shirt was turned inside out to reveal the garment\u2019s stitching, uneven effects and imperfections, and was printed using graphic icons in red, black, and white. The T-shirt will retail for $145 and the remainder of the collection will range from $35-$145.<\/p>\n<p>McGinness\u2019s artworks have been previously shown at the Galerie du Jour agn\u00e8s b. in Paris, in the group shows <em>What About New York<\/em> in 2003, <em>Ugly Winners<\/em> in 2006, and <em>On Verra Bien<\/em> in 2016. McGinness\u2019s solo show, <em>Multiverse<\/em>, was exhibited at Galerie du Jour in 2004.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"media_images\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bside_Signals_Poster_Invitation__36_x_27_in\" src=\"http:\/\/usa.agnesb.com\/uploads\/bside\/4010\/bside_Signals_Poster_Invitation__36_x_27_in.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/usa.agnesb.com\/en\/bside\/section\/agnes-b-s-world\/50-howard-street-ny-2\/signals-by-ryan-mcginness\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/usa.agnesb.com\/en\/bside\/section\/agnes-b-s-world\/50-howard-street-ny-2\/signals-by-ryan-mcginness<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.francaisdeletranger.org\/blog\/mdfdeasie-pacifique-bon-vent-aux-chercheurs-et-a-lequipage-de-lexpedition-tara-pacific-2016-18\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.francaisdeletranger.org\/blog\/mdfdeasie-pacifique-bon-vent-aux-chercheurs-et-a-lequipage-de-lexpedition-tara-pacific-2016-18\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.francaisdeletranger.org\/blog\/mdfdefrance-congrats-agnes-b-pour-40-ans-de-leadership-culturel-indemodable\/\" target=\"_blank\">ttp:\/\/www.francaisdeletranger.org\/blog\/mdfdefrance-congrats-agnes-b-pour-40-ans-de-leadership-culturel-indemodable\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R2g-univ-howard-howardstreet_01 usa.agnesb.com \u00a0 \u00a0 Latest: French fashion legend Agn\u00e8s B&#8217;s favorite New York finds May 5, 2016 As a studious and artistic child in post-WWII Versailles, Agn\u00e8s Troubl\u00e9 longed to be a museum curator when she grew up.
