Darcel “And a miserable day to you too”
Craig Redman is a New York based artist, with whom colette has been collaborating to extract his character Darcel from his blog. For the first time now, we have an exhibition entirely dedicated to him.
Darcel’s inner world goes meta with “And a miserable day to you too”, as he explores everyday trivialities through painting, prints, sculptures and, of course, movie animation. You can go home with special Baggubags, key-rings , Publik tee-shirts, Bodega stickers, the new colette candle , lighters, postcard or buttons with the monocle-wearing famous character.

Ednies
The worlds of Etnies Plus and Ed Banger Records join forces to create their first joint collection, EDNIES. Linked since their inception in skateboarding in the streets of Paris, Pierre-André Senizergues (creator of Etnies) and Pedro Winter (founder of Ed Banger) have joined their shared passions: music and skateboarding. With illustrations of So-Me on the insoles, which is a joke (that nobody understands! but is it really important?). In black or white! Available May 17th.

The Cube Fontaine
The Cube Fontaine by artist Claire Fontaine is a hijacking of the famous Rubiks cube. The 6 sides of color are replaced by views of the surface of the sea. Manipulating it gives unique and contradictory images. This poetic object mixes the solid of the cube and the liquid of water – A beautiful limited edition of 1000, by Third Drawer Down.
