La Chanelphile — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 21:58:23 +0000

Nike, the official sponsor of the French Football team has created the away kit featuring the blue and white stripes of the “marinière”. To commemorate the launch, Nike teamed up with Colette to present the Away Kit, bringing together luxurious brands and their take on the signature blue and white stripes. Chanel is one of the brands to participate in the project and the “marinière” tote is the result. Very French Nautical chic – I love it! Karl Lagerfeld also photographed Alou Diarra, the captain of the French National Team for the project.

Chanel x Colette Packaging - Illustration by Karl Lagerfeld

I wish I were in Paris pretty much every day of the year, but I especially want to be there this week! From now through the 10th, Colette and Chanel have teamed up to provide one of the coolest shopping experiences ever. Fortunately, Susie Bubble of Style Bubble checked out the shop and took some nice photos so I will be living vicariously through her… sigh. All images are from StyleBubble.com – Merci!

I want everything pictured below. I’m so sad I’m not there. For more descriptions of all the prettiness and to hear about it from someone who’s actually seen it, please visit Style Bubble! Oh, and the last image is of a new Coco tee by Dear Dana that Colette recently added to their webstore – I like it but it’s a $100 t-shirt. I’d rather put that money toward the Coco doll!! If anyone knows if that doll is for sale, and if so for how much and how to get one please let me know!!

Chanel & Colette Pop Up Shop Update

La Chanelphile — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 16:07:38 +0000

For the next 10 days, Colette and Chanel teamed up to give consumers a unique shopping experience. A few of the special products that Colette commissioned are online in their web shop – but most sold out within hours of being put up. It doesn’t look like actual Chanel pieces will be online including a Colette blue Mademoiselle purse and camellias in black, white and Colette blue. I wish I could be there for this – if you can get to Paris then this is a must see!Similar Posts:

Chanel + Colette Ephemeral Boutique (Pop-Up Shop)

La Chanelphile — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 20:24:52 +0000

My favorite brand is teaming up with my favorite Parisian boutique, Colette, to create a separate ephemeral boutique (or pop up shop as we Americans like to say) from March 1st to 10th on 336-340 rue Saint-Honoré. The boutique will span 200 m² and has an industrial feel as the setting is “a former garage turned into a giant living display space.”

The fashion installation will be a multi-sensory delight with visual arts, musical performances, fashion, and sweet treats “resulting in a fun-fuelled, creative mix and match by Chanel and Colette with a rock ‘n’ roll vibe.”

Chanel 2011 Spring-Summer pieces will be sold alongside select pieces by young designers curated by Colette. Artists including Kevin Lyons, Soledad, André, Fafi and SO-ME will be on hand to customized legendary Chanel bags. Karl Lagerfeld designed a collector’s doll and other special Chanel products will be sold including bag charms, helmets and cameras. For this momentous occasion, Chanel created a compilation CD and scented candles. To top it off there will be a Chanel nail bar and a cupcake bar!

This may be the best pop-up shop EVER. I almost want to buy a ticket to Paris to see this for myself. I hope the special edition products – especially the doll – will be sold online! I NEED ONE!

Here’s a breakdown of the events – if you live in Paris and you go – I will be living vicariously through you!

"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?

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.
