Energetic.
Electric.
Eclectic.
The words that come to mind to describe it.
A personality that seems plugged into 10,000 volts.
A hoarse, broken, tomboyish voice.
A mischievous spirit, like that of kids experienced in four hundred blows.
A Parisian look, both fashionable and offbeat, classy and unclassifiable, who never forbids anything.
Mademoiselle Agnès detonates happily.
She welcomes us to her home, in an apartment that resembles her, a mix of chic and controlled extravagance.
She has just walked her daughter to school and is preparing for a marathon day of dates.
A life at a hundred miles an hour.
The CV of Agnès Boulard, better known under the name of Mademoiselle Agnès, looks like a list à la Prévert.

Audacity, desire and determination
Missions accomplished: assistant, Miss Weather, columnist, journalist, producer of magazines and documentaries, actress, singer, Mademoiselle Agnès knows how to do everything, has done almost everything, and does not intend to stop there.
"I'm hungry for new experiences," she says.
That's good, the fashion and media world can't do without her, her spontaneity, her cheerful cheekiness.
His career was built on boldness, desire and determination.
In 1991, she knocked on the door of Alain de Greef, atypical and legendary boss of Canal+ programs.
"I need a job," she told him with her huge smile ready to swallow the world.
The multicultural and casual weekly of the Filipacchi
7 group in Paris,
where she used to work, has just closed.
"A drama.
I have always seen myself working, earning a living, being independent.
As a child, I dreamed of refueling my car.
For me, that was freedom.
Going back to the suburbs, where I came from, was not an option.
Like Annie Ernaux, or Édouard Louis, I was unconsciously in a process of class rupture.
I always saw myself working, earning a living, being independent

Carte blanche
Alexandra Kazan had just left her post as Miss Weather in the cult show
Nowhere Else.
Agnès Boulard replaces her at short notice and continues the very crazy tradition, imagined by the channel, of a weather forecast that looks like anything but a weather report.
“That's where I was born.
We had carte blanche.
It was a huge field of possibilities on a set, the time of a chronicle.
The watchword of the chain was: “Do the idiots”.
Philippe Gildas unstuck me the day of my first weather report by telling me on the air: “There is no need to take an FR3 announcer's voice to announce the weather in Limoges”.
Message perfectly received.
Since that day, Mademoiselle Agnès grants herself the privilege of freedom.
Spontaneous, funny, quirky, she embodies characters on the air, plays comedy (a lot),
talks about the weather (a bit) every night in designer outfits.
Jean Paul Gaultier dresses it.
Fashion fascinates her… and will become her new playground. In the 2000s, she humorously analyzes fashion shows for the encrypted channel with
Dressed for…
, directed with Loïc Prigent.
Together, they form a powerful duo.
It's both impertinent and very relevant.
His audacity pays off.
She wins the support of the public.
The luxury industry, unaccustomed to the second degree, dubs it.

The sense of trends
The columnist journalist launches her production company lalala (which has become essential), specializing in documentaries and fashion magazines.
She produced the benchmark program
La mode, la mode, la mode
for Paris Première, and the
internationally successful documentary
Signé Chanel .
“Karl was the couturier with whom I developed the most bond.
I made him laugh.
His death deeply destabilized me.
I lost a mark.
I really felt that we were moving from the 20th century to the 21st century!
Another time, I knew a dehierarchical world that no longer exists.
We must make do."
Today, I give myself the means of my ambitions
Miss Agnes
Today, Mademoiselle Agnès tries to reconcile these two atmospheres.
She has always been able to capture the spirit of the times like no one else to comment on it, decipher it, make fun of it, wring its neck.
And get ahead of it.
In his sleeve, a series project for a platform, digital collaborations with French brands, a book in the making and acting workshops to confront his bubbling emotions (“and reconnect, who knows, with the theater…” ).
She is also working on her docufiction project to relive twenty-five years of
Mode by Agnès.
From the recent Paris Fashion Week, she retains the 360 degree vision of Jonathan Anderson, artistic director of Loewe, the collections of Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent, the first fashion show of her friend Emma Reynaud for Wearmarcia.
On a daily basis, she hunts down beautiful vintage pieces that give the feeling of being unique.
“Today, I accept what I cannot change, and above all I give myself the means to fulfill my ambitions.
And
last but not least,
I have a wonderful little girl, who raises me as much as I raise her, and believe me, we're having fun!
