The film will show never before seen moments from the buzzy Parisian concept store.
PARIS — One of the things that new documentary “Colette Mon Amour” reveals is what founder Colette Roussaux chose to wear on the closing day of her Parisian concept store: A T-shirt bearing the message “I shopped at Colette and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.”
The movie retraces the last six months of the Rue Saint-Honoré store’s existence, starting with the announcement of its closing in December 2017 after 20 years of business. It focuses on the people and collaborators that helped shape Colette into a true Parisian retail landmark, known for its cutting-edge fashion selection and one-of-a-kind events and exhibitions.
At the core of the documentary are Roussaux and her daughter, Sarah Andelman, who acted as head buyer and creative director for the store and helped build its tight network of collaborators with capsule collections, guest curations, books signings, art exhibitions and even mini concerts. Virgil Abloh, Guillaume Henry, Alexandre de Betak, Kith’s Ronnie Fieg, Sacaï founder Chitose Abe, Masayuki Ino of Doublet and artist Kevin Lyons are some of the many people interviewed in the documentary, but the most moving scenes are the ones involving employees of the store.
A particularly unexpected scene shows Roussaux and Andelman, who are notoriously media-shy, giving their first recorded interview together. The conversation happened on Dec. 15, 2017, five days before the store’s closing. “It was like Christmas came early,” Lawson-Body said.
