As Colette turns 10 years old this year, Black Rainbow had a chance to chat with the woman who’s been behind it since day 1, Sarah. Sarah offers her insight on the beginnings of her store as well as its journey to where it is now and what the future holds for Colette. We found Sarah’s own Colette brand philosophy very interesting and how her enjoyment in the culture and her brand vision have created her current success’. Check out the interview here.
Robot Films have teamed up with adidas to create their very own EQT B-Ball models. Despite the retro styling of the EQT B-Ball, the Robot Films makeover created a futuristic looking sneaker. The metallic silver upper is made from an reflective material so whenever light hits it at the right angle, it will reflect back. The replaceable inner boot features a circuit board print. The Robot Films logo can be seen on the heel. Release date is set for late Summer/early Fall.

The graphic design firm House Industries (affiliated with brand House 33) is set to unveil a special collaborative piece created with Eames Office. The limited run of 10 solid maple and walnut sculptures will be unveiled later on tonight at a special lecture held by Andy Cruz outlining what’s in store from House Industries.
The Eames House was built in 1949 by the husband wife duo of Charles and Ray as part of the Case Study Houses Project. The Case Study House project was commissioned by the Arts & Architecture Magazine (1938-1967) to bring together a collective of some of the best architects of the time to create inexpensive and livable housing spawned by the post-WWII boom. The Eames House (known also as Case Study House No. 8) was widely considered to be the best of the bunch.
