Cottweiler settles his suitcases at L’Eclaireur

Remember, that was last January. Cottweiler, a British label supported by the young Ben Cottrell and Matthew Dainty, won the prestigious International Woolmark Prize 2017. Their reward: no less than an endowment of 100 000 Australian dollars, a precious mentoring of professionals of the trade, and the distribution of their collection in a sharp selection of commercial partners. This is the case of L’Éclaireur, a real Parisian institution (now also based in Los Angeles), which this week celebrated the arrival of the collection in its boutique at 40 rue de Sévigné. It is in a scenography that seems inspired by airport security gates, with some futuristic accents, that the designers were able to meet the press representatives and present the collection with a sportswear identity, somewhat underground, and especially very modern. To fly into a bright future.
