What does this mysterious logo stand for? No, colette did not create its own express delivery service, "COLETTEXPRESS" is THE latest compilation by Michel Gaubert and Marie Branellec, who stayed true to their eclecticism, for a new dense and generous opus.
Priority delivery at colette, starting October 2nd, under a sealed enveloppe: open with caution!
That enveloppe went through a lot before getting between your hands... Right behind the Iron Curtain with a first track of psyche Hungarian rock, then through Metronomy’s brain and legs, and finally in electro experts’ hands from Paris to Melbourne. It was then left in the kitchen where Onra prepares the best nuggets, sauce Vietnamese, and where Senor Coconut dips Jamie Lidell soul into a clever mixture of copper and spices. In the meantime, in the bathroom, Dominator drank cologne and Hot Chip has been reduced to the max by Supermayer. Our enveloppe then crossed the Atlantic for a New York party with punchy James Pants, Syclops, Tussle and Hercules who remixed Chaz Jankel’s disco... We thought we lost the enveloppe throught the long, long night, but it came back after staying at sect Dio Serpente.

The Kitsuné Maison selection comes back, 6th edition. Since 2005, Kitsuné Maison is made of what’s listened to in the Paris Kitsuné offices, of what Gildas & Masaya use when they dj, and also of new contacts met throughout the globe. There is a Kitsuné sound, but it keeps on evolving towards always more melody. A sometimes aggressive, violent sound and sometimes throbbing, melancholic or all of that at once. There’s some Australia, some old Europe and some America in it: artists come from everywhere, some signed and major, other poor and unknown. Some even are under Kitsuné’s label for albums to come or are already music industry’s creative directors’ new dream. That’s Kitsuné Maison 6, for home and everywhere else.

Have Karl Lagerfeld’s spirit with you at all times with this Kapsule collection: three fragrances: Light, Floriental and Woody through which Mr Lagerfeld narrates fragrances and creates a simple and yet luxurious olfactory "wardrobe". Choose one, two or even the three of them and use following humor or your style for the day.

Futuristic and rococo, decorative and innovative, strong and beautiful, whimsical and strange, this is the first collaborative fragrance "du genre": Stephen Jones and Comme des Garçons, in addition to them collaborating on shows, developped a perfume directed by Stephen Jones and produced by Comme des Garçons: Millinery.

When Wod, Boudicca’s latest fragrance, is sprayed a vibrant cobalt blue mist appears and settles on the skin or clothing. Whether touched or not the "paint" begins to fade and within seconds or minutes disappears completely leaving simply the scent behind.
The fragrance opens with herbal spicy, fresh and floral notes. A real visual and olfactory experiment.
