Valentino

  • Un « palazzo » haute couture en Principauté
 
 valentino aout 2016

 

Le nouvel écrin Valentino revisite les codes des palais vénitiens dans un luxueux décor contemporain.

Designed by British architect David Chipperfield, the new store is a fabulous showcase perfectly expressing the opulent discretion that is Valentino's signature. The underlying idea was to tweak the brand's flagship-store concept to create a veritable contemporary palazzo, 235m² featuring grey Venetian terrazzo, black marble paving, Carrara marble stairs, carbon fibre, gypsum drapes and leather fitting rooms. The result is simply... spectacular! Evoking both a museum and a historic palace, this interior design immerses visitors in the brand's über-luxe world and incites them to browse the women's collections, from ready-to-wear to iconic bags (Rockstud) to shoes to eyewear. Unisex musts in the Untitled collection (sneakers, trench etc.) rub shoulders with new collections such as the capsule Wonder Woman created in collaboration with Gwyneth Paltrow (floaty tulle dresses covered in stars and sequins), and the literally heavenly Astro Couture. A unique shopping experience.
