THE INSPIRATION

Heritage

A child of fashion, Colette was born into a Lebanese family that came to the US in the 1920's and launched a luxury loungewear brand called "Perfect Negligee". As a young girl, Colette spent weekends at her grandparents’ home where she discovered “Grama’s attic”; a room filled with couture accessories, reminiscent of a time of opulence and sublime taste. This was the seed of inspiration that she mixed with her "downtown pop-art” upbringing that led to her individual expression.

artistic way she approaches everything.

THE STORY
