COLETTE PARIS

0 comments Posted by pece at 12:55 AM

Yesterday I did a grand tour of Colette Paris on 213 rue Saint-Honore 75001, Metro - Tuilleries

Colette's logo - blue dots...

Are everywhere...

There is a general dottiness about this boutique...

As BEAR found out last time he visited...

A lot of friendly bears here too...

By 'dottiness', you can find all manner of things eclectic, whimsical, funny...

At all price ranges...

Whatever is au courant in Paris - there is a big new Jean-Michel Basquiat show at the musee d'Art Moderne and a new film just opened, so it's in Colette's DVD section...

Tons of techie equipment as well...

If there's a new interesting book out, Colette will have it on their tables. *Note the Japan Fashion Now catalog. You saw it first at PB.

Of course...

There is catty stuff...

Go upstairs...

For the most au courant fashion...

Colette is consistently ahead of the curve...

Outside the box...

If you don't see what you want, check out their tech support...

Next floor up is Colette's galerie - remember The Selby opening/vernissage?

Sous-sol you can grab a gouter/snack amidst more blue dots and watch a Peanuts video...

Colette has a house dog, who both guards and rules the roost bien sur. If you're wondering how I got all these photos, I wrote ahead and asked permission to invite you inside.

Permission granted.
Merci beaucoup COLETTE!

A Bit of skirt...

Catching a trend/tendance in Paris is an ephemeral thing. It started with this poetic poster in a high-end rue Vavin children's shop...

Next this painted ruffly tutu at the Art-Paris show...
Repetto's windows were full...

Of paper sculpture tutus.
They sell real tulle tutus inside...

Was I seeing a Degas trend in Paris..?

peut-etre...according to CarolineDaily, a terrific French time-sucker fashion trend site, the frilly, flouncy mini skirt/la jupe à volants is IN for Spring 2010!

It's in Colette's vitrines...

et enfin...

Dans la rue...believe me when I tell you, you wouldn't want to be with me in Paris. Especially when I'm chasing someone down the street for a shot...

On Jour Du Macarons I caught the whole look...

Rosettes on the knee socks...

A silk rose in the hair - all worn by a macaron waiter-on-line at the Pierre Herme rue Cambon shop...mignon non?

Polyvore has caught up with the shorty, ruffly skirt...

And The New Yorker has caught up with Polyvore, so we better get out our sissors vite! We can all become virtual Anna Wintours...

The most edible frill on the rue in my book is always at Gerard Mulot - a mini swirl of indulgent pure, riche chocolat - Miam!

Has the mini jupe volant turned up on the streets of New York?

It has. Get out your sissors and start cutting up any old ruffly skirt hidden in the back of your closet VITE!

BONJOUR LES JUPES VOLANTS!

Bill Cunningham-man-on-the street for the Sunday Times now has a new movie out on his shenanigans shooting the fashionistas of the world. "I eat with my eyes," says Bill. Anna Wintour says the fashion world gets dressed in the morning for Bill.

I was thrilled to catch Bill in action at the Paris shows...

Of course there were many other shooters out there - bloggeurs?

Inside I got to stand with the BIG BOYS - the Pros on the podium. It's very crowded and a lot of messy hair that gets in your viewfinder, but there's a great comraderie that makes it tremendous fun.

The Big Boys run to shoot a blond celeb - no way I can get in there edgewise. *Note celeb's old-fashioned Chanel bag with chain -it's back in fashion PB readers - dust yours off svp. ELLE says so.
