L.G.R Sunglasses
Luca Gnecchi Ruscone travels in Eritrea, wandering through his grandfather’s old warehouse of Italian imports, when he discovers a model of sunglasses from a time long forgotten. Their perfect design immediately evoked the merging of two worlds: the adventure of Africa and the glamour of the Riviera. He returned to the original manufacturers to create a line capturing this timeless design.

Publik
Japanese from Publik associated with designers Eero Aarnio, Geneviève Gauckler, Parra and Rinzen for a collection of exclusive designs on t-shirts, polo shirts and bags. Each designer developed its graphical universe on textile: Finnish furniture designer Eero Aarnio illustrates pieces with some of his best designs; French Geneviève Gauckler puts her famous characters on polo shirts and on a tote bag. Parra uses his curved and modern illustrations.

Hugo Pratt for Corto Maltese
Free and easy chic. Even those who never read a Corto Maltese adventure know the allure of this dandy sailor, his proud gait and his vagabond elegance. Corto always feels at home, from Venice to Ireland, from Ethiopia to Manchuria, this gentleman of fortune distinguishes himself thanks to a mixture of neglect and style.
In a world-wide preview by colette, you can discover the new editions of Corto Maltese adventures and the Fall Winter 2009/2010 Collection “Hugo Pratt for Corto Maltese”. Window from May 24th.

Le Whif.
Here is one of the most original inventions: Le Whif., created by Le Labogroup , a flavoured spray with a first version that tastes like chocolate, fruits and/or spices. It is the ultimate experience of a new food gesture: inhaling chocolate, literally. Perfect to finish a meal, to offer with coffee and to satisfy all our chocolate needs. One exclusive taste for colette: cinnamon chocolate
