Recently Paris saw a very interesting new store opening its doors – Pigalle. Created by Mr. Ashpool and PainOchoKolat, a great new boutique has been added to the already fantastic shopping experience in Paris. It is always great seeing people even in such big cities, that already seem to have everything, open stores that surprise and impress.

Pigalle carries an interesting mix of brands that include Dr. Romanelli, Rick Owens, Huf, Wood Wood, Swagger, Phenomenon, Nike, Adidas, Pigalle sweaters and t-shirts, North Face, Winfield and many more. Also they are constantly sourcing vintage pieces of well respected high end designers.

It took a while, but this weekend the first H&M store opened its doors in Japan in the Ginza district. The grand opening of the store began with a ribbon cut by CEO Rolf Eriksen and Christine Edman, H&M’s country manager in Japan, which led the 5000 people who queued (crazy) to flow into the sparkling new store. 

H&M GINZA have approximately 1000m2 of sales area over four floors, from basement to 3rd floor, exhibiting Womens, Mens, and Accessories concepts.

The arrival of H&M in Japan will be properly celebrated with the Comme Des GarconsFor H&M collection , next month.

Rumors about this have been floating around for some time and now the new Fixed Gear Bike Shop by the Starcow crew seems to have opened its doors in Paris.
Cyclope offers pieces for you to add to your bike, but you can also buy complete bikes. For everybody who is into fixed gear bikes in Paris, they should certainly stop by.

The good people at the United Front were once again busy opening yet another Goodfoot store, the overall 6th location across Canada. The new store is also situated in Toronto, but not anywhere close where you would expect. This is something we always admire and at the same we realize the power behind our culture, when a new territory is being invaded and out of nothing a retail street/destination builds up. We have seen this in Paris, when Colette arrived over 10 years ago, Lower Eastside in NYC and we have seen it in Los Angeles on Fairfax more recently and there are many more to name.
Well, Goodfoot did once again that and opened on St. Clair Avenue in Toronto. It will be interesting to see how the surroundings will develop in the next couple of years. It once again shows that United Front/Goodfoot is leading the way in Toronto.

Over the last couple of months we have kept you posted on the renovations at famous Parisian concept store Colette. The store worked together with Wonderwall on the redesign, the same architects that are also responsible for all Bape stores worldwide, some Uniqlo stores, the Original Fake store in Tokyo and many other incredible retail outlets around the globe. Thus we had of course big expectations.
In the matter of less than two months they changed the entire store and created something amazing. The sneaker section moved to the ground floor and has become a massive glass sneaker wall. Also they introduce the Tee Box, a large box made out of glass and metal, housing all t-shirts of the store. The Tee Box is also located at the ground floor. Furthermore Colette introduces shop in shops of Original Fake, Bape, Alife as well as BBC/Ice Cream. The Original Fake and Bape sections you can see on the image here above.
Overall the store has been cleaned up and appears much more structured than before. The water bar also got renovated and now has more of a restaurant feel to it than before. Accessories are being presented in free hanging boxes, that are also equipped with light. The magazine section grew in size and is also more organized, just like the Beauty section of the store. On the first floor you still find the gallery, as well as the haute couture brands.
What can we say? Mind-blowing. How can one store do this much? The new design is clean, sleek and displays much better and more efficiently all categories of product that Colette represents and sells. Also it seems like the new interior is much more efficient, allowing Colette to display overall much more product. The amount of sneakers and t-shirts now present, would have been almost un-imaginable in the old interior.
Bottom line, get on a plane, or hop on the train, and check out the new and renovated Colette store live, pictures can only say so much.
We have lots more images of the newly renovated Colette Paris store after the jump.
