The Selby and Colette have teamed up to create a totally eclectic pop-up shop, book, exhibit, and film. The pop-up shop is now online, with a weird array of stuff selected by people Todd Selby has photographed for his web site, items include a Selby tote bag, a framed Captain Beefhart poster, a bunny bank, a stuffed panda in a bag, books, and other random objets . The store just takes The Selby’s concept of exploring one’s personal space  and stuff to a new level by adding a consumer element and makes for a totally voyeuristic shopping experience. Check it out today.

Osomatsu-kun began as a Manga series that  ran on Sundays from 1962-1969, and now has a new home on Comme Des Garcons clothing. The line features graphics from the popular series on shirts, t-shirts, blazers, and now another classic…shoes.  The classic Comme des Garcons Derby shoe will come in a white low version and grey mid version- both outfitted with plenty of Osomatsu-Kun graphics.  Check them out at Colette.—ABG

We have already reported that Colette is currently renovating their store in Paris. Today they announced some features of the new renovated store and it for sure sounds intriguing and interesting.  "The will indeed is to ensure the first floor a broadened out area, not only dedicated to fashion, and also a more accessible space for streetwear, so dynamic today. Colette therefore contacted Japanese architect Masamichi Katayama / Wonderwall* to go over its ground floor and finally decided to let him redesign all three floors. A real challenge for him because of the limited time and existing space to work with. (Selectism)
