Lanvin Opens Its First US Men's Flagship in US



LANVIN marked the opening of its new men’s boutique at 807 Madison Avenue with a party on Tuesday evening. The crowd, which included Theophilus London, Monique and a host of others. Designers Lucas Ossendrijver and Alber Elbaz always energise their Lanvin menswear collections with power and style and have the rappers and actors queuing up to promote the brand.

Lanvin First US Men's Flagship Store
Located in a three-story townhouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side, the store has a stripped-down, modernist feel thanks to MR Architecture + Decor and Lanvin creative director Alber Elbaz, who worked closely with the firm on the design. The striking lighting and straightforward displays are clean, almost clinical in their presentation — a nice contrast to Lanvin's more Baroque offerings, and an equally nice departure from retail's recent exploitation of log cabin-y clichés.

Lanvin sneakers already have a cult following and find a perfect home to display their beauty on the entrance level, to the steely gray made-to-measure studio and V.I.P. lounge on the top floor (not accessible to passersby interested in merely browsing), to the apothecary-esque display of vitrines filled with bow ties and the inset shelving units exhibiting meticulously arranged stacks of shirts and an assortment of bags (green leather and snakeskin were in heavy rotation this season).

The 5,800-square-foot space will carry Lanvin's forward-thinking ready-to-wear collections in addition to more traditional suiting options, and features architectural details that mirror the clothing's luxurious yet restrained appeal: a chocolate-colored Macassar ebony wood staircase, an Art Deco-style chandelier, and beige suede walls, to name a few. The perfect playground for those who can afford to shop there, or those who just want to pretend they can.

Tommy Hilfiger Goes Upmarket

Tommy Hilfiger
TOMMY HILFIGER the American fashion brand owned by PVH Corp has re-launched its first luxury Tailored collection. Along with an exclusive party in London, followed by another in the brand’s flagship on the Piazza degli Antinori during Pitti Uomo in Florence – such was the setting Tommy Hilfiger chose to baptize his first Tailored collection, now entirely produced in-house. The designer and founder of the American brand, owned by PVH Corp., traveled from London to Florence the next day to enjoy the collection he holds so dear to his heart in the peace and quiet of an incognito visit.

“I love this!” said the famous designer met on site while ruffling through the silky cashmere jackets. “I want to buy everything! This is the first time in company history that we are taking ‘tailored’ so seriously. This project will help raise the brand. Today everyone is mixing styles. You can easily wear jeans with a very elegant jacket,” said Tommy Hilfiger.

This menswear-only, urban line based on suits has been sold in Europe under license since 1998 by the Swiss company Holy Fashion Group but was completely reintegrated into Tommy Hilfiger in January 2013. To develop this project, the company established the Tommy Hilfiger Tailored division last year, entrusting operations to Michael Berngruber, who it hired away from Boss Selection, the upscale line of German brand Hugo Boss. 

“This is a very serious project. All product development is now being done in-house and is being handled by a dedicated team of 36 people. We have reviewed the fit, the cuts and done some serious work on the quality and fabrics, which are 90% Italian and created exclusively for us. If you sell a piece at 400 euros, it must be perfect,” said Michael Berngruber. 

The Tailored collection is manufactured in Italy, Portugal and Eastern Europe and the line has been expanded. Tommy Hilfiger has specifically called on large Italian fabric manufacturers such as Loro Piana, Zegna and Lanificio Luigi Colombo. “We had never worked with cashmere before,” said Berngruber, vice president of Tommy Hilfiger Tailored. The collection now includes high quality pieces made of cashmere, such as suits, sweaters, knitted ties and pants in cashmere/denim.

“On one hand, we revised and improved the basic pieces in Tailored that we will maintain at the same price, at the same time moving closer to luxury. But it is still affordable luxury,” said Michael Berngruber. The Tailored collection now represents turnover of about 50 million in Europe, or 8 to 10% of Tommy Hilfiger sales. The goal is to reach 15% or even higher.

Christian Louboutin Opens Men’s Line in London

Christian Louboutin Men’s store 17 Mount Street, London, W1

French footwear designer Christian Louboutin has opened his first men’s store in the UK. French luxury label Christian Louboutin, known for its women’s designs, is now expanding its men’s line in London's Mayfair.
Christian Louboutin Men’s store 17 Mount Street, London, W1
This is the luxury brand’s fourth of its kind in the world, following Paris, New York and Los Angeles. Located within close distance to Louboutin’s flagship London boutique on Mount Street, the new men’s store occupies an existing Georgian building on Mayfair’s Dover Street. Louboutin worked once more in close partnership with New York based architectural design company 212Box to design the interior of the store’s 170 square meters.

The store covariant 170 sqm on two floors. The new store covers a larger men’s shoes collection and sources indicate the designer will be launching a men’s bag. Entering the ground floor of the two-floor store, visitors are welcomed by a red carpet with a geometric rawhide border. The bay window at the front of the boutique provides a seating bank, whereas other seating solutions and freestanding furniture designed by London design firm Squint.

Leather wall panels in rhombus shapes are installed throughout (similar to the ones in the brand’s Paris men’s store, inaugurated in September 2011), and in the centre of the space (which is surrounded by hand-embroidered Tiger Rugs) sits a cash desk made from Tiikeri, a sustainable material made from reclaimed sorghum stalks.

A staircase leads down to a secondary retail space conceived for private shopping appointments. In this area, studded concentric display stands and turquoise blue carpets mark a change of ambiance.

Louboutin’s first collection of trainers and studded loafers for men was initially introduced in the Spring of 2010 as a natural progression from the designer’s private orders for friends, performers and as part of special collaborations. With his studs retired for a brief moment, here's a little taste of what Christian Louboutin has to offer for men Fall/Winter 2011. How stylish are these! Love em
