Lanvin

Profile

Bow ties presented like butterflies, immaculate suits, and a wall of designer sneakers line the interior of Lanvin’s flagship store for men. Three floors house runway and sportswear, formalwear, and bespoke creations in a space designed to accentuate individual pieces. With a sparse interior, dim sterile light lends the shopping experience a high-end hotel-lobby feel, while the occasional orchid or Perrier bottle are somewhat awkward touches. The first and second floors of the deceptively large store are open for browsing, but the top floor is reserved for VIP customers seeking unique creations and in-house tailoring. The exclusive salon offers made-to-measure and bespoke suiting, all in a velvet-clad Art Deco environment geared toward absolute luxury. — Nick Robins-Early
