Jan Kriwoll x Illusion
On the occasion of the world premiere release of the Illusion bottle, Absolut invites Polish artist Jan Kriwol. His work reinterprets reality by creating photographic works combining real images and imaginary deformations of paper. He recreates a universe close to Surrealism, where the eye has trouble distinguishing truth from falsehood, real from reconstituted, illusion from ordinary.
Because the search for absolute purity is a quest with rare demands, Absolut introduces its new limited series Illusion Edition that showcases this unique transparency, exclusively at colette from May 2nd. It will be displayed on furniture designed for the occasion by designer Yorgo Tloupas.

L’Art de l’Automobile
Ralph Lauren has long felt a passion for the automobile, a recurring source of inspiration in his creations. On the occasion of the exhibition “L’Art de l’Automobile” which will be held from April 28 to August 28 at the musée des Arts Décoratifs, and which will be devoted to the designer’s personal collection, colette presents a series of inspired objects, miniatures of the models on display, the Sporting Automotive watch, accessories, photos, books and polo shirts in an exclusive “colette blue.”

Generic Surplus x Obey / Rivieras x Thomsen
After Wood Wood and Comme des Garçons SHIRT, it’s time for the artist Obey to collaborate with Generic Surplus by revisiting the model Mesh Borsal, available at colette in ecru and navy. Metal eyelets and a pair of workwear shoelaces are enough, though hardly noticeable, to literally and figuratively bring a breath of fresh air. Rivieras, meanwhile, is working with Thomsen shirts to create hybrid models in tribute to Cassis and Cabourg but nevertheless emblematic of both worlds! Because Rivieras means little seaside towns, cabana, bar, kite… and much more.

Le Labo SANTAL 33
Remember the cowboy of the old Marlboro commercials? The great outdoors, the hot desert wind, the leather of the saddle warmed in the sun, the fire at night, the tremendous power of this perfect man, a symbol of raw virility and absolute freedom … An icon so powerful that every man dreams of being him and every woman of having him … Thus was born Santal 33 with spicy, leather and musk tones giving this fragrance its coziness that’s at once unisex and classically elegant. A real bonfire, where sensuality comes from the light.
