Chic French boutique Colette is teaming with the Gap to bring a pop up store to Midtown Manhattan. Colette's new digs will be open from September 6 to October 5 next to the Gap's Fifth Avenue flagship at 54th Street.
On the style blogs, some of the clotheshorse crowd already seems upset that the high fashion brand would collaborate with a mass market retailer like the Gap, but plans for the pop up store seem tailor-made to silence the non-believers.
The temporary project is called "styledesignartfood," so expect all types of high end goodies to be on sale including several items that will be exclusive to the location. The interior of the pop up shop also promises to impress: It's designed by luxe store specialist Masamichi Katayama who previously created high concept spaces for Bape and Uniqlo.
