Chanel And Colette

ONE is classic and timeless, the other is of-the-moment and chic, but now two bastions of French style - Chanel and Colette - are coming together. The duo is set to open a pop-up store to coincide with Paris Fashion Week, on the site of a former garage.
As you might imagine, the store will meld the two worlds - with a calendar of events that gives Chanel's famous bags and jewellery a touch of Colette modernity - and you can even have you Chanel bag customised by a famous artist, if you're brave enough.

• Tuesday, March 1 : Designer and illustrator Kevin Lyons will be customising bags between 4pm and 6pm.
• Wednesday, March 2 : A Lemariè craftsman will give a Camellia demonstration by between 3pm and 6pm.
• Thursday, March 3 : The illustrator Soledad will be customising bags between 4pm and 6pm.
• Friday, March 4 : There will be a harpsichord performance by the pianist and composer Maxence Cyrin, from 5pm.
• Saturday, March 5 : Graffiti artist André will be customising bags between 3pm and 6pm.
• Monday, March 7 : Graffiti artist Fafi will be customising bags between 4pm and 6pm.
