1-10 MARCH: CHANEL & COLETTE INTRODUCE EPHEMERAL BOUTIQUE IN PARIS
This month the two renowned fashion names, CHANEL and COLETTE have combined their creative talents to open a temporary boutique at 336-340 on the famous rue Saint-Honoré, Paris. The large boutique houses an eclectic installation of fashion, visual arts and musical performances providing a creative atmosphere with a rock’n’roll vibe…
Key pieces from CHANEL’s Spring Summer 2011 collection are featured amongst a selection of pieces from young designers chosen by COLETTE while iconic CHANEL bags can be originally customized by a variety of artists such as Kevin Lyons, Soledad, André, Fafi and SO-ME.
The legendary “Lord of the Camellias” LEMARIÉ is unveiling the secrets of this beautiful flower, offering a selection of blue, black and white camellias.
Pieces from the new Spring/Summer collections by ÉRES are included in the mix in a palette of black and irreidescent tones, next to the Maison MICHEL‘s spotted veils.
Further creative surprises await in the form of a unique collector’s doll by Karl Lagerfeld, CHANEL bags customized by CHROME HEARTS, YAZBUKEY bag charms, RUBY helmets, and cameras by LEICA along with COLETTE’s scented candles and compilation CDs. Michael Gaubert has created an exclusive playlist for the boutique which will be available to all boutique customers, while a few treats for indulgence include the CHANEL nail bar and a cupcake bar from CHEZ BOGATO.
