Words by Alex Bec, Friday 30 July 2010

I’d hazard a guess that Brooklyn creative Monika Wyndham is a confident sole.

Founded in 1997 by Colette Roussaux, cult Parisian store Colette has – in its two decade lifetime – established itself as one of the world’s most influential hubs for compelling, cutting-edge fashion and design.
