Paris Boutique Colette Announces Plans To Close Doors In December

Colette announced on social media this morning (July 12, 2017) it’s closing its doors in December this year after 20 years in business. In a statement written in French and English, the business stated that its founder, Colette Roussaux, who founded and operated the store with her daughter, Sarah Andelman, was ready to retire from the business of retail.

“As all good things must come to an end, after twenty wonderful years, Colette should be closing its doors on December 20th of this year. Colette Roussaux has reached the time when she would like to take her time; and Colette cannot exist without Colette,” read the statement in part.

The store noted it was in talks with Saint Laurent to take over the storied space. “Negotiations are under way with Saint Laurent and we would be proud to have a brand with such a history, with whom we have frequently collaborated, taking over our address.”

A three-story space located at 213 rue St.-Honoré, Colette according to the NY Times, had sales of 28 million euros ($32 million) in 2016, with e-commerce accounting for 25 percent of that and the rest coming from its single store.

In a profile on the two proprietors published in March 2017 just prior to a splashy, 20th anniversary celebration, the NY Times brought up rumors the store was planning to close, which Andelman dismissed as untrue.

Roussaux still lives above the store, which had been vacant for quite some time before she purchased it and with Andelman as her partner, subsequently went on to change retail history.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
