Fashion detectives on your mark. Match the shoes to fit this gallery of stylish suspects:
Colette asked J.M. Weston—French footwear doesn’t get any more classic—to produce a mini collection of shoes—10 in all— designed by André, Gildas Loaec and Masaya Kuroki of Kitsuné, Olivier Zahm, Olympia Le Tan, Joséphine de la Baume and the Cazals. The result is available by special order at Colette from October 11-17.
It’s a sunny Monday morning in Paris, but it’s raining collaborations. First off, Sonia Rykiel is H&M’s next guest designer. Expect a selection of lingerie in store on December 5 and a Spring 2010 collection of her stripey knitwear hits on February 20. And don’t forget Jimmy Choo spikes for H&M on November 14. That’s just about when Rei Kawakubo’s Beatles bags will hit London’s Dover Street market.
Yes, Kawakubo’s Comme des Garçons’ has signed a deal with Apple Corps Ltd, (the company which manages The Beatles’ musical catalogue and image, for a collection of bags under The Beatles/Comme des Garçons label available at DSM and at Gyre in Tokyo in mid-November. WWD reports the deal is long term and might extend to T-shirts.
And because news always comes in threes, Kitsuné, the elegant Paris classics label from DJ’s Gildas Loaec and Masaya Kuroki, moves into Colette today. Boutique Kitsuné Maison is a gingham-covered pop-up shop at the store featuring Kitsuné record label’s CDs and clothes for classically funky men and women through October 3.
