Miles Aldridge
Colette.fr is an online French retailer of fashion and design products. Every item seems original in a way that you wouldn’t find anywhere else – it’s one of the best shops for online artsy goods. They carry an eclectic selection of clothes, accessories, books, CDs and DVDs but most importantly for the fashionista in you, a range of fresh-off-the-runway designs, displayed before they reach the high-street. Monthly art and photography exhibitions are held at their brick and mortar store at 213, Rue Saint Honoré, 75001, Paris. They’re currently hosting photographer Miles Aldridge whose artful composition and mastery of vibrant colour has led him to appear in Vogue and the New York Times.
The design of the site is second to none and it is a treasure trove of blogs on diverse but uniformly chic subjects.
Also note that fellow French taste-makers, Dirty Soundsystem who are perhaps more serious selectors than most DJs, have provided an exclusive mix for the shop which you can download here. It’s one of our all-time favourites. We featured their blog a while back too.
