colette gets a little help from comme

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Nobody knows that better than mother and daughter retail dynamos Sarah Lerfel and Colette Roussaux, as their intention of parking a shopping truck on the sidewalk of Colette during its seven-week refurbishment was turned down by Paris authorities earlier this week. Never fear, longtime friends and collaborators Comme des Garçons came to the rescue yesterday by vacating the premises of their perfumery, with its signature hot-pink glass facade in Place du Marché Saint-Honoré. “It was a last-minute decision, and one which has made us very happy,” admits Lerfel, whose “Mini Colette” promises to soften the blow for summer shoppers in search of retail therapy. That is, until August 23, when all returns to normal and the 213 Rue Saint-Honoré address prepares to open its redesigned doors.
