Colette’s expected to keep spirits up throughout the long haul of Paris Fashion Week and this season the Rue St. Honore boutique is getting serious help—from Karl Lagerfeld. The Chanel designer’s teaming up with Sarah Lerfel for a pop-up shop in a garage further down the same street from March 1st through 10th.  It’ll offer Chanel, of course, as well as Eres and a handful of younger designers, but it will also sell customized bags, dolls and CDs (including a new compilation made with Dazed’s Jefferson Hack). Meanwhile, the most exciting part may be the chance to learn camellia-making from the Lemarié couturiers—the ones who build the white flowers for Chanel’s Haute Couture. Couture, and les petites-mains, won’t be around forever so the chance to see its artisans in action, and ask them questions, may be once in a lifetime.
