Chanel’s New York City flagship reopened this past Thursday, and to say it’s the pearl of 57th street is an understatement. Since 1910, the French house has been our standard in style, and Mademoiselle Chanel our icon. As the founder once said, “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” However, the unique beauty that cascades throughout the new boutique is something that Coco herself never imagined.
Architect Peter Marino, frequent Chanel collaborator, designed the renovated store. Located only a few short blocks from the Museum of Modern Art, works by the likes of Robert Mapplethorpe and Jenny Holzer grace the boutique’s walls accordingly. The five-story building is certainly an experience. On the first four floors, you can find a shoe salon, multiple ready-to-wear salons, a section dedicated to knitwear, as well as accessories, handbags, and fragrances. The fifth floor is set aside as a private, VIP shopping salon for those that need a more intimate Chanel experience.

In addition to staples (read: Chanel Classics and Boys Are On the Rise, Pricewise), the reopened flagship is selling special items such as a limited edition 2.55 exclusive to the 57th street boutique, a limited addition steel Code Coco watch, a new fragrance. Also, there’s a sixty-foot strand of pearls spanning four floors. Wait. What?

French artist Jean-Michel Othonial designed the sculpture, which hangs from the top of the central staircase all the way down to the bottom floor. An homage to Coco Chanel’s signature pearls, mirrored stainless steal and glass beads make up the massive work of art.

For any fashionistas in Manhattan wanting to get their shopping—or selfie—on, the store is open from 10am-6:30pm Monday through Friday. Weekend hours are 10am-6pm on Saturday and 12-6 on Sundays. The now open store lined up with the release of the cruise 2019 collection, which you can find at the boutique now.

I’m just simply pleased to have stumbled upon this blog.
I find that there are not enough discussions concerning this problem, even though it surely impacts
a considerable portion of the public. I am planning to
make some more contributions at this website as time goes on, in the process of a
chaotic life as a chair massage event planner
Going through your first-class blogging site has
furnished me personally with just the information that I just needed.
We have recently been undertaking research about this subject for
a little bit, and this seems to have taken a long while to find a
website that gives all the facts I will need.
I actually look ahead to browsing more websites
authored by this author down the road, and should seek right here initially the
next time I actually have a a research requirement for my school.
