CELEBRATE: Concept Hot Spot
This Monday, original Parisian concept store Colette turns 20.

All 213 pairs of Nike Air Woven have already sold out, so act fast! Missed out? Don’t worry. Colette is also staging an installation at Paris‘ Les Arts Décoratifs (Mar. 21 to 25) museum featuring a giant ball pit filled with 300,000 recyclable plastic balls.

WATCH: Magic Slippers
To memorialize the new colorways of its Le Moc loafer, J.M.Weston has made a short film featuring actor Omar Sy (“The Intouchables,” “X-Men: Days of Future Past”). In “Le Beau Dormant,” a sort of Sleeping Beauty-meets-Cinderella tale, Sy plays a somnolent Prince Charming … and only one thing will wake him. The film premiered this week at J.M.Weston’s pop-up in a former cinema on the famed Champs-Elysées. (jmweston.fr)

GO: Musée Rodin
Since Christian Dior staged both its spring haute couture show and fall ’17 runway at the Musée Rodin — not to mention also hosting a spectacular masked ball there during Couture Week in January — the Parisian landmark has become a real fashion hotspot. Set in beautiful parklands, the museum is a prime backdrop for gorgeous Instagrams, while the café is one of the best-kept secrets on the Left Bank. (musee-rodin.fr)
