Repetto x Ligia Dias, Scott Wilson et Florian
A colette exclusive, iconic French ballerina shoe brand Repetto collaborates with three of the fashion industry’s most talented jewelers: Swiss Ligia Dias, British Scott Wilson and Austrian Florian. Taking the classic ballerina pump as a starting point each designer has interpreted the shoe in their own inimitable style and created a necklace to match.
For Alexander Wang, what truly defines a style is how people dress in their off days, forming the basis for his collections where clean, classic, luxurious and refined silhouettes are introduced to an urban street provocative ideal. This season, the familiar dark urban aesthetic of past seasons is replaced with new vivid colored looks and two new lines : bags and shoes, exclusively at colette for France.
