Koché, with an atelier far from the madding fashion crowd in edgy Ménilmontant and rapidly rising designer Christelle Kocher at the helm, continues to rock Paris Fashion Week. Contemporary street art and traditional French craftsmanship heavily influence the funky, ready-to-wear street gear that mixes denim, jersey and other easy fabrics with elaborately crocheted feathers, chiffon, beads and sequins.
