Some Parisians i have spoken to hate it and have told me about Colettes grip on the city, but this happens everywhere when something becomes cool / popular, but to me Colettes success is thatit still seems as fresh and forward looking as ever (they've just been lucky enough to hold a tiny vices group show - lucky lucky), which in this day and age, when internet blogs kill everything in a matter of minutes, well its a tough thing to do and keep up for a decade...
Colettes birthday would guarantee a post here, but the meat in this posting sandwich is the ingrediants that are making their birthday something to watch, salivate and spend over...
