Rue St. Honoré is one of the largest shoppings treets in Paris and is home to many of the worlds biggest fashion brands with a fashionable and stylish atmosphere surrounding it. Besides the Rue St. Rue St. Honoré is one of the largest shoppingstreets in Paris.
Our main destination in the area was “Collette” - a hip and stylish fashion store with clothes from some af the worlds biggest fashion brands and hottest designers of the moment (Alexander Wang, Lanvin, Marc Jacobs, Balmain, Gareth Pugh, Valentino and Comme des Garcons to name a few). There is also a big selection of interesting things other than clothes that are all more or less related to fashion, such as magazines, dvd´s, vintage cameras, bunny figures and even a skateboard with a picture of Karl Lagerfeld. Right now the shop windows have an amazing pop of neon through Mary Katrantzou´s latest collection on show.
Collette is a three storey shop, the gift shop is on the entrance level but on the first floor are the mannequins displaying all the fabulous clothes on offer . This floor almost feels like a museum since each item on sale has their space. This means that the selection was not very big but obviously very well thought out. In the basement is a resturant which judging from the long line for a table must be very popular although rumour says the main attraction downstairs was the amazing toilet that a remote control was needed to be able to make the most of!
The women´s department is experimental compared to the mens department that was very small and slightly boring. In fact the only thing that stood out to us that were the very short shorts. The trends right now in Collette are: Black, white, neon colours, blue, striped, granny lace and flower prints, pleated skirts, blazers and cropped trousers.
Weleft Collette very inspired with a feeling of coolness and walked furter on the street to discover all the amazing designer shops such as: Jimmi Choo, Gucci, Galliano, Miu Miu, Chanel, YSL, Hermésand Lanvin. A true adventureland for the fashion clad that we are.
