Undercover
Undercover is making a comeback at colette. This season, the Japanese designer Jun Takahashi draws inspiration from the world of German industrial designer Dieter Rams*. The guiding principle is to eliminate the unnecessary to retain only the essential. We can find this simplicity in the Men’s collection, and also in an exclusive tee-shirt for colette, while we wait for the upcoming fragrance, Grace. In our windows from January 18.
