Boutique Critique: Colette 2.0
Colette, the Paris store which is the European inspiration for NY hubs like Opening Ceremony, just got a major makeover thanks to the handiwork of Japanese interior designer Masamichi Katayama, aka Wonderwall.
The store now looks completely new, a welcome change from a spot I couldn’t leave when Becks and I visited Paris in the Spring. The new spot has white walls with glass, steel and black leather, with tons of graphics to add flavor to the walls.
Can’t wait to see if we get any preview of the new store now that the Gap plans to open a pop-shop for the Parisian gem in NYC this fall. Oh, the Gap, how cool you are slowly becoming.
Thanks to WWD for having the cash to send photographers to the spot and for keying us in on the story.
