I really love how they elevated everything in there. Are there ramps, or how do they get around wheelchair laws, I wonder?

Marni inaugurates Istanbul Boutique

DALLAS, Apr 14, 2008 / FW/ — Continuing its expansion in 2008, Marni inaugurates its first boutique in Turkey. Located in the charming 19th century environ of Akaretler, the stark modernity inside the Marni boutique is a counterpoint to the old world Istanbul, thus creating a symphony of beauty based on divergent elements.

Collaborating with the architects from Sybarite, Consuelo Castiglioni created a space that pulls the visitor through a narrative as he or she moves from room to room. Maintaining the original room volume while adding Marni’s signature style and looks, Castiglioni made the Istanbul boutique part of the new generation of Marni flagship store designs.

In the central main room, a stainless steel rail holds the MARNI collection curling around the perimeter of the store, repeating the shape of the steel step at the front. The focal point of this room is the floating mannequins that hang from the ceiling and are moved by fans.​

Aged teak floors, textural and unfinished-looking walls, which resemble the whitewash used to cover graffiti, crisp clean fiberglass cases and mirror-polished steel are strongly dissimilar materials, chosen to accentuate through contrast the preciousness of the MARNI collections.

^ Very cool gius, that's actually where I live but I haven't seen Marni store yet. Thanks for the news!

Dans le jardin de Lanvin

Ca faisait longtemps que je ne vous avais pas montré des images de la boutique Lanvin de la rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré, non ? Hier soir, j'ai eu envie d'aller voir ce qui se tramait dans la plus vivante des vitrines de la rue. J'y ai découvert un jardin paradisiaque rempli de femmes couvertes de plumes aux coloris exotiques.

In Lanvin's Garden

It's been a long time since I showed you some pics of the Lanvin shop in rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré. Yesterday evening, I fancied having a look at the most lively shop window in the street. There, I discovered a heavenly garden full of women in feathers and exotic colours.
Comme d'habitude chez Lanvin, les lourds bijoux contrastent avec la légèreté des vêtements.
As usual at Lanvin, chunky jewels contrast with delicate clothes.
Les poses des mannequins y sont toujours aussi travaillées.
The mannequins' poses are always sophisticated.

De l'autre côté de la rue, chez Lanvin Homme, la référence au jardin d'Eden est plus précise. Avec comme toujours une pointe d'absurde.
On the other side of the street, at Lanvin Homme, the Garden of Eden reference is clearer. With, as usual, a hint of the absurd.
Regarder une vitrine Lanvin, c'est comme se placer devant un tableau. D'abord parce que les toiles de fond semblent effectivement peintes à la main, ensuite parce que la mise en scène y est si aboutie qu'on n'a envie que d'une chose : imaginer le scénario qui a dû se jouer pour qu'on en arrive là.
Looking at a Lanvin window is like standing in front of a painting. First because the background canvasses seem to have been hand-painted, and second because the setting is so well-designed you only want one thing: to imagine the story.

ZOE BRADLEY is bringing a touch of romance to Pringle of Scotland's New Bond Street and Sloane Street stores.

The renowned artist - whose work which has featured in everything from Tatler to Dazed & Confused, and who has worked with the likes of Alexander McQueen and Michiko Koshino - has combined delicate paper flowers with old park benches and upturned sailboats for a nostalgic, nautical window theme celebrating summer at the brand.

"My collaboration with Pringle of Scotland was to create a sculptural rose installation for their Bloom windows," Bradley explains to us. "I drew inspiration from the cool colours and metallic textures of the spring/summer 2008 collection, echoing them in a romantic backdrop of rambling paper roses
