Beyonce Knowles founded House of Dereon clothing in 2006 with the help of her mother Tina Knowles. Tina, a talented seamstress, is responsible for most of the styles that Beyonce wears.

Agnez custom tailored pieces for private clients in Louisiana during her life and became well known for eye-catching designs, which often included lace and beads. The House of Dereon jeans, tops and other items take elements from three generations: Agnez’s era in the 40s, Tina’s era in the 70s and the contemporary era of Beyonce.
