AGNES

The House of Agnes was formed in Paris in 1906.  In 1931 it merged with Drecoll (a Vienna based firm) to form Agnes-Drecoll, where a young Jean Louis worked in the early 1930s.  Agnes-Drecoll closed its doors in 1963.

Label note:  Adaptation labels were used not by the designer, but by US firms that were making fashions that were adapted from the designer's work.  Many firms did adaptations, and an adaptation might be a faithful reproduction of the original, or it might be very loosely based on the designer's work.
