The Cobra Snake x Colette x Vans Vault Era
60 pairs like those in the world and I got one. I had to wait for a few hours in front of the Colette store but eventually, as I was 5th in the queue, I could get a pair and got a chance to chat with Mark Hunter a.k.a. the Cobra Snake. Read the rest of this entry »

Le New Black: First Online Fashion Fair
Le New Black is actually the first ever commercial online fashion fair dedicated to Brands to sell their collection to the best stores; and to Stores, as buyers, to purchase next season’s collections online. I had the chance to meet Le New Black team in their wonderful offices in Marais in Paris to learn more about their project and how they differentiate themselves from other physical fashion fairs such as the (Capsule) show or the Who’s next.
Among its subscribers Le New Black counts the most influencial concept stores such as the Dover Street Market or Colette, and also powerful department stores like Harvey Nichols. Why? Unlike the classic fashion fairs: as a brand, you can display your products all over the year on a single platform and benefit from an audience of already selected buyers. As a buyer, it obviously allows you not to travel all around the world to select a brand or a collection. Find a list of their brands (Études, Surface to Air, Tigersushi, etc…) after the jump and we’ll soon have Reda from Le New Black tell us more about the philosophy behind their project!

Pigalle x Colette x MERRELL WILDERNESS
We met the guys from Parisian hip store Pigalle at last (Capsule) show in Paris and I remember how interesting their offering was as they were launching a line of hats. Instantly I knew they had talent. And this video teasing their recent collaboration with Colette store and hiking boots experts Merrell on the Wilderness shoe model confirms my first impression ! The video is actually a making-of of their lookbook photographed by Mathias Fennetaux in the streets of Paris.
