The riotous and turbulent relationship of the most rock ‘n’ roll couple in the history of music, Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg, inspires a collection that combines destroyed chic and the freshest cuts. London style mixes with American cool, the bluesy vibe of the 60s with the brash Rock festival of the 70s. Retro, ethnic, shock value and an edgy effortlessness come together with that infernal Frenchy flair that only The Kooples can pull off.
The most liberated and sensual muse in the history of Rock flaunts a devastatingly brazen elegance, flashing an untamed gaze from beneath her fringe. Backstage or in the back of a limo, night meets day, mixing the most sophisticated pieces with an unbridled sense of improvisation. Before Punk and after Flower Power, between London and California by way of Paris. The studded black of a mini skirt, of a leather playsuit, of a to-die-for mini dress glows beneath a shawl coat with long mamacita fringe and over sexy ankle boots and bare legs. A babydoll nightdress shivers under a leather biker jacket, Navajo jewellery glints through lace, straps enlace hips and chest.
The Swinging 60s and their well-worn blues storm off stage, roused by the hippie wave, bursting at the seams. In the studio, on tour, in trashed hotel rooms, they can’t get no satisfaction, throwing oil on the fire, never satiated. Over the sharpest cut pants, they insolently toss a mini lapel posh jacket, wearing rings on every finger. A looped chain, a belt. A cropped leopard blouson, a strap around the neck, a python suit, a leather biker jacket… we’re in the jungle now, the realm of rock marauders that turn every girl’s head and smash their guitars in ecstatic oblivion.
About The Kooples
Established in 2007, The Kooples (a spin on the word ‘Couples’ in French) effortlessly fuses both menswear and womenswear into their collection in an innovative and unique fashion, combining perfect cuts with meticulous attention to detail and precious fabrics. An edgy and unique French brand, The Kooples allows for couples to go shopping together and swap their fashion finds. Created by three brothers, Alexander Elicha, Laurent Elicha and Raphael Elicha, they found inspiration in celebrity couples with an iconic style, such as Keith Richards & Anita Pallenberg, Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg, Patti Smith & Robert Mapplethorpe. Ever since, The Kooples has founded its image on two concepts: couples and rock bands, aligning the brand with a style deeply rooted in the greatest couples of music history.
