In collaboration with the award-winning, London-based retail design agency Campaign, 3.1 Phillip Lim has unveiled a brand-new New York City flagship boutique to house the designer’s entire women’s, men’s, and accessories collections.

Located on 48 Great Jones Street in the NoHo district of Manhattan, the newly developed retail concept store, which opened last week with a stunning performance by Banks, defines pragmatic luxury. An extension of Lim’s own design studio, the space is both contemporary and classic, featuring unexpected materials, layered geometric forms, and vintage furniture personally chosen by the designer himself.

After operating out of various skate shops and high-end luxury stores worldwide such as colette, Dover Street Market, and Opening Ceremony for the past year, the Swedish unisex sneaker brand Eytys (pronounced “Eighties”) has opened its very first stand-alone store in its hometown of Stockholm. The new space embodies the confident, fuss-free æsthetic with which the brand has rapidly become synonymous on the strength of its sharp, sleek sneaker silhouettes. “Having a store has been a dream, and the creative process started to take shape in my mind years ago,” says co-owner Max Schiller. “I guess you can compare the obsession with the way teenage girls fantasize about their wedding day.”

In the short time since its launch in 2011, ADEAM has come a long way. The young line, helmed by Hanako Maeda, takes its cues from a mix of East and West, pulling inspiration from the designer’s twin hometowns of Tokyo and New York. A recent move stateside helped set her up for bigger things, and she expands her reach around the globe this month with the launch of ADEAM’s online shop, which offers a range of the label’s classic and inventive pieces, from smooth asymmetrical tops to sweeping evening gowns.

For the past seven years, New York-based marketing aficionado Jason Keehn has been crafting the brand identities of such luxury giants as John Varvatos, Perry Ellis, and Equinox. “I always loved the magic—the beautiful design—of the fashion world,” explains Keehn, “but you don’t want it to be all-consuming.” It’s a sentiment that you hear all the time in the industry—a desire to do more—but one that’s voiced more often to superficial effect. Keehn’s commitment to a more ethical practice is anything but surface level. This past November, he launched Accompany, a globally curated, ethically sourced e-commerce site showcasing such fashion and lifestyle products as the Shaw Sisters’ hand-carved, South African-produced artisanal coconut wood spoons and Inigo Elizalde’s graphic, hand-embroidered linen pillows—one hundred percent of whose profits go to typhoon relief in Elizalde’s native Philippines. “It doesn’t have to be black or white. You don’t have to walk away from the marketing world and go become a martyr,” says Keehn. “You can have gorgeous products and give back. It’s more of a trade-on world than a trade-off world.”

Last month, Vanessa Traina and Morgan Wendleborn launched The Line, an online boutique of carefully-curated luxury fashion, home, and beauty products. Having both worked as stylists, the pair share an inclination to edit. And so The Line “stems from the desire to pare back, strip down, and pull together,” as the mission statement reads. It is the expression of their search for the refined and timeless.

As the web has flooded itself with flash sales and coupons, one-off deals and questionably low prices, the online market has come to resemble something of a digital Canal Street, where everything is a cheap alternative to its original self. L’ArcoBaleno, which launched earlier this year, is the extreme nonconformist, and refreshingly so—the Biennale des Antiquaires of the Internet, where fine design and rich content formally meet.

When Rick Owens first launched his second line DRKSHDW in 2005, the designer’s goal was to bring in new customers with a more-affordable collection, reinterpreting his famously emotive and dark pieces in denim and knitwear for both men and women. He’s sure to win over even more fans starting tomorrow, when the first of two […]

In selecting architect David Adjaye for their first retail space, Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez were attempting to chisel their own progressive framework into Manhattan’s stiff Upper East Side. The outpost, they say, was meant to be “the antithesis of a slick, high-gloss Madison Avenue store,” and Adjaye, whose rise to fame is rooted firmly in the dissolution of cultural boundaries, was seen as the ideal mediator.

Just in time for summer, downtown surf headquarters Saturdays has opened a second location in the West Village, a small shop in a former coffeehouse on Perry Street just off Seventh Avenue. As in the Crosby Street original, the store is stocked with a full range of the label’s clothing and accessories, from graphic t-shirts […]
