Bumping this amazing thread

From wonder-wall.com

The only two requests designer Toshikazu Iwaya of DRESS CAMP, one of the premier up-and-coming clothing and accessory designers in Japan, made were the color "pink" and "lions" for his first freestanding boutique. With that in mind and together with the designers' Glam-Rock signature style, Katayama incorporated statues of lions, the kind one would expect in a distinctive museum or library, but made in fiberglass, chandeliers, a plushily piled carpet and other classic elements into the interior design, with mirrors placed on both sides to amplify old-world aspects with kitsch undertones. The defining concept was the sense of playfulness that occurs with having the two facing mirrors reflecting the inner space reflecting off one another.

what a fun job would that be!? All the windows you guys posted look awesome! I could walk down the streets of any city in the shopping districts and just stare at the windows all day!..but then again maybe people would think I was crazy or something!

thanks Baizilla I liked that interior, but I think the lions will look better if they were unboxed & raised on a small platform..that will creat more museum feeling ...just my humble opinion

Meet the new generation of mannequins from http://www.thecoolhunter.net/ :

WHAT A DUMMY Friday, 07 April 2006

Meet the new generation of mannequins set to grace the windows of stylish boutiques and department stores around the world. More like sculptures than Dummy’s, the mannequins look as if they’ve been snatched out of a
contemporary art gallery. Certainly adds a whole new dimension to window shopping. Also creating a stir in the world of window merchandising and retail is the intelligent dressing room. It scans your measurements and lets you see on a projection screen how a piece of clothing will look on you. Now that’s convenience. by Lisa Evans

Ahhh... You are so lucky to have all those big stores in Tokyo! Here in the US, we are lucky if we get a store bigger than 6'000 sq feet (*besides NY or LA) !!

I'm so jealous

Store Interiors and Window Pictures

Does anyone know where I can find any sites or resources devoted to retail store interiors and windows specifically higher end designer stores - I recall finding one a while back and now I can't locate it again.
I have a project I need to put together and need alot of reference examples specifically from new LV store in Paris shoe displays and Lanvin Paris windows. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Apologies if I've posted in the worng section, but I wasn't quite sure where to put this question

 

[haruki]

heeejj
Sunday I am going to barca for a week, I like the shop very much (I think ) were can i find m??

 

[robertocavalli]

Nice, can you maybe post pics of the style in Barcelona?

 

[mvr_saartje]

I've been to barca this week. But I did'nt think the people were stylish, especially the girls. The boys are a lot better dressed than the girls. In barca I have seen 10-20 girls who were dressed nice or special, all the rest was wearing some boatcut jeans witch a t'shirt or sweatshirt net very nice or stylish

Sorry, Barça is the name of the football team, Barcelona is the city. For some reason Dutch people always confuse the two.

Going Dior to Dior
His last runway was literally on fire, but Hedi Slimane's Dior Homme stores remain oases of cool. Take, for example, the new boutique in Los Angeles (Beverly Hills, to be exact), where the full range of men's ready-to-wear, footwear, watches and accessories, plus Slimane's signature scents, can be admired on pristine white shelves jutting out from black lacquered walls. Slickest of all, Slimane has, in keeping with the label's other boutiques worldwide, invited Daniel Arsham to collaborate on the interior. The Ohio-born artist created craggy white structures that emerge from the corner of the fitting rooms like mini-[FONT=Arial,sans-serif][FONT=Arial,sans-serif]glaciers[/FONT][/FONT]. Feel the chill.

Y-Not
What started a few years ago as a simple collaboration between a sports giant and an iconic Japanese fashion label has grown into a massive perma-line that incorporates not only men's and women's threads, but also shoes, bags, denim, keychains and everything else under the rising sun. We're talking, of course, about Y-3, the brand that marries the athletic heritage of Adidas with Yohji Yamamoto's catwalk prowess. Capitalizing on its mass appeal, Y-3 has begun rolling out stand-alone boutiques in Taipei, Atlanta and, most recently, Tokyo, which Yamamoto calls home. Lining the three floors of the 900-square-foot space at 50-3-20 Minami-Aoyama—near the designer's signature shop—are walls of mirrors, its key feature, playing up the idea of reflection and unity. Look for similar outlets to hit New York, where Y-3 has shown for the past few seasons, as well as Los Angeles, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Berlin and other European spots. It's a Y-3 world. -SM

A Store is born
Longchamp, the recently reinvented French accessories brand owned by the eccentric Cassegrain clan (who also helped Kate Moss return to grace as the face of their spring campaign) has a new New York home with the opening of its long-awaited flagship in SoHo. The dominant feature of the La Maison Unique Longchamp (132 Spring Street, 212-343-7444)—which also serves as the luxury label's U.S. showroom and headquarters—is "the landscape," a wavy staircase of steel ribbon strips directing street-level shoppers into the large retail space above. There, the full range of impossibly supple bags, luggage and other leather goods can be groped, including three spring bags from from Jeremy Scott, following artist Tracy Emin's contribution last year. But the collaborations don't end there. Having enlisted graffiti artist Astre 74 to work on its fall '05 collection, Longchamp is reportedly in talks with Paul White, the British graphic designer behind Me Company.
