colette

colette closed 8 years ago today, on December 20th 2017, with live butterflies 🦋 in the windows (just like on our first day March 20th 1997). To mark the anniversary @aboutdreamsclo @raphlefriant is releasing 20 limited-edition vintage T-shirts, from 60s to 80s. Each one is unique, celebrating the spirit, creativity, and energy of colette 💙 #coletteforever Available on aboutdreams.fr December 20th, 2025

COLETTE! ARCHIVE! GRAND PALAIS! 💙💙💙 thank you infinitely to @sarahandelman for bringing back the greatest store in the world for 10 days only at @le_grand_palais in honor of our brother V thank you to all of the friends & family & partners of @virgilabloharchive who contributed the return of @colette brought us so much joy 💙 +++ colette 1997 – 2017 Founded by Colette Roussaux and Sarah Andelman at 213 Rue Saint-Honoré, colette was the most influential store in the world for 20 years, celebrated for its pioneering integration of fashion, art, music, food, and culture. In 2008, colette released one of Virgil’s early T-shirt designs, and since then, Sarah Andelman has been a consistent champion of Virgil’s contributions to fashion and beyond. The shop within Virgil Abloh: The Codes reimagines colette as a living artwork – an immersive installation that reconstructs colette as both historical artifact and the official gift shop of the exhibition. Inspired by the spirit of colette and the energy of the 2010s, the installation serves as a living tribute to colette as a historic landmark in Paris and as the platform where Virgil’s ideas first found global resonance. This space thus reimagines the museum gift shop not as an afterthought, but as the exhibition’s conceptual and emotional starting point. In doing so, we pay homage to Virgil’s deep reverence for colette, his fascination with the typological dance between art & commerce, and his place within a rich lineage of artists using commercial formats as conceptual media.

“colette is back”, just for 10 days, just for VIRGIL ABLOH: The Codes at le Grand Palais. Thank you Shannon, Athi, @arch___itecture for inviting us, Thank you @benjib for the playlist, @mateogarcia_audio for the speakers 🔊 Thank you @hugovitrani @pablotomek @futuradosmil Jay One for the wall painting 🎨 Thank you to all the contributors 💙 @colette_mon_amour documentary screening on Sunday at 4pm 📼

Fermé en 2017, colette n’a jamais vraiment quitté l’imaginaire parisien. Huit ans plus tard, la boutique culte de la rue Saint-Honoré renaît sous une forme inédite : une installation éphémère imaginée par The Virgil Abloh Archive™ pour l’exposition « Virgil Abloh : The Codes », au Grand Palais du 30 septembre au 9 octobre 2025. Pas un pop-up banal, mais une reconstruction du rez-de-chaussée mythique imaginée comme « une œuvre d’art vivante et une boutique fonctionnelle ». Résultat : on pourra vraiment shopper, entre exclus imaginées par les proches de Virgil Abloh (1980-2021) et rééditions devenues collector. Parmi elles : le réveil Braun BC02 revu par Abloh et la première traduction française de « Abloh-isms », recueil de citations du designer. Le line-up des contributeurs donne le ton : Travis Scott, Cactus Plant Flea Market, Futura Laboratories, L’Art de L’Automobile, BSTROY, Stray Rats ou encore SP5DER. Une galaxie de labels et d’artistes fidèles à l’esprit du designer, où streetwear, art contemporain et expérimentation s’entrecroisent. Pour Sarah Andelman, cofondatrice de colette, c’est une histoire qui boucle la boucle. En 2008, elle avait acheté un des tout premiers t-shirts de Virgil Abloh pour le vendre en boutique. Dix-sept ans plus tard, elle ressuscite son magasin comme un hommage vibrant à un ami disparu et à une époque charnière. « Virgil avait une profonde admiration pour colette et croyait fermement en l’utilisation des espaces commerciaux comme plateformes d’expression culturelle », confirme Shannon Abloh, sa veuve et gardienne de son héritage. Un retour éphémère de colette comme une manière de rappeler que, même mort, Virgil Abloh continue de transformer la mode, et Paris avec lui. #TimeOutParis

After @Colette closed in 2017, @SarahAndelman promised that she would never reopen the pioneering Parisian concept store that she and her mother ran for two decades. But now, a new—if brief—chapter of Colette is set to begin, thanks to Andelman’s history of collaboration with @VirgilAbloh . On September 30, Virgil Abloh: The Codes is set to open at the Grand Palais in Paris. The exhibition will include a Colette installation that serves as both living artwork and, of course, gift shop. “There was such a sense of respect for each other because we share the same open mind,” Andelman said of Abloh. “We were both open to the next encounters you didn’t expect.“ At the link in bio, everything you need to know about Colette's brief return.
