Karl Lagerfeld Coca Cola Light
Everything Karl Lagerfeld touches turns to gold – er, or black and white. The newest Karl Lagerfeld collectible to add to the list? Coca Cola Light.
Karl Lagerfeld has designed an aluminum bottle with his unmistakable (now slender) silhouette. The bottle comes in a chic limited edition box with a bottle opener. You can get the Karl Lagerfeld Coca Cola Light bottle at Colette – coming soon on April 24th!
"Coco Avant Chanel" Exclusive Box Set at Colette
Coco Avant Chanel (Coco Before Chanel in the U.S.) finally hit stateside last week as it makes its way across the globe. You didn’t think that a film about one of France’s most celebrated icons would come and go without Colette doing something special did you?
"Coco Avant Chanel" Exclusive Box Set at Colette
To celebrate the release, Colette has put together a beautiful Coco Avant Chanel Exclusive Box Set with only 100 produced. The box itself is a hat box containing a boater hat from La Maison Michel, a limited edition picture of Gabrielle Chanel, a book of quotations from Coco Chanel, a dvd of the movie Coco Avant Chanel and a Blue Ray collector edition including a booklet depicting the making-of the movie. I want this now! The Coco Avant Chanel Box Set costs €150 and is available on the Colette web shop.
Mini Karl by Simone Legno
While you’re there, you’ll probably want to pick up your own “Mini Karl” – doesn’t every Chanel girl need one? Designed by Simone Legno, of Tokidoki fame, “Mini Karl” is almost adorable as the real thing. Mini Karl costs €129 and is available on the Colette web shop.
Colette’s newest artist installation in its boutique is a collection called “dearest constellation, sweetest invitation” by Comenius Roethlisberger. The pieces are pretty striking because of the familiarity of the iconic luxury brands portrayed but the amazing thing about these pieces is that they are written using a mix of sugar and cocaine. Is he telling us that the pillars that these brands are built on are as fragile as the sugar & coke cocktail they’re written in? Or perhaps that these brands give the same kind of rush one would get from cocaine or a sugar high? I think it’s safe to say that these pieces have meaning and are commenting on many levels. Here’s what Colette says about the show . . .
Swiss artist Comenius Roethlisberger is frequently said to be provocative through his pieces, doing some extreme choices. His “Dearest constellation, sweetest invitation” installation plays with famous logos of big luxury brands written with a mix of sugar powder and cocaine, all presented in clear polyester resine boxes. Insolence, fantasy, cynicism, his work incriminates imaging, and fashion or advertising shots, letting no one unconcerned.
The installation is on view at Colette on the first floor from February 25th through March 1st. That’s less than a week, so if you’re in Paris I would def go check this out in person.
