French luxury Maison Dior has announced the opening of a new pop-up boutique dedicated to the brand’s ‘Chez Moi’ collection, in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood.
Located at 109 Greene Street, the pop-up carries a range of pieces from Chez Moi, Dior’s first-ever capsule collection dedicated entirely to loungewear. The pop-up will remain open through March 19.
Läderach, the brand known for its fresh artisanal chocolate and piles of chocolate bark, opened its largest global flagship on Fifth Avenue on December 10th. A one-story, rotating cocoa-bean sculpture featuring real chocolate graced the 2,500-square-foot store, more than double to triple its typical store size. The store also will feature live chocolate production demos and classes.
The location marks Läderach’s third in the U.S. after opening its first on Lexington Avenue in New York’s Midtown East a year ago. Its second in New Jersey’s American Dream mall recently opened over the Black Friday weekend in November. The flagship also marks the company’s 100th worldwide after it opened 12 new stores in six countries this year, the fastest pace since the family-run business entered the brick-and-mortar retail business in 2004 and began operating stores under its own name in 2013, CEO Johannes Läderach said in an interview. The company also plans to open a store in Washington, D.C. early next year.

Loro Piana is making its home in the Meatpacking District a permanent retreat. Having first operated as a pop-up store from May 2019 through December 2019, the new Meatpacking District store was designed by architect Vincent Van Duysen. The shop utilizes a new, clean, open concept providing ample space as a hub for creative experimentation.
The 1,700-square-foot store at 3 Ninth Avenue is Loro Piana’s 23rd store in North America.
A focal point of the design is a glassencased winter garden — freestanding at the center of the boutique — which will be updated and cultivated four times a year following the seasons. The store is a combination of soft and neutral tones, mixed with natural light and flora. There is fluted Portland stone wall cladding and European oak wood finishes and metal accents have been coated in an aged white paint treatment.

The three-level, 11,800 square foot space is located in the Chelsea furniture design district at 116 7th Avenue. The store is one of only a handful of new retail builds in the area as most brands coming into the neighborhood renovate existing spaces.
The entire exterior uses a clean 8’ x 8’ repeating steel grid creating a multitude of framed vignettes. Product stories for furniture, lighting, and accessories come to life in the soft grey frames for passers-by. The vignettes transform routinely with the changing product assortment.
In contrast to the brick and stone buildings in the area, the new EQ3 store becomes a beacon of glass and light.

On September 29th, Balmain opened an uptown New York City store, at 650 Madison Avenue. At any other point of time, this would register on the fashion industry news cycle, and thanks to attendant party and photo-ops, your IG feed. Yet right now that opening is taking on greater, and different, resonance. For one thing, Balmain’s space sits in the shadow of the shuttered Barneys New York, a grim and poignant reminder of the havoc that was being wreaked on the city’s physical retail scene even before our current situation. And for another, the specter of COVID still stalks New York, just as it does almost everywhere else in the world.
Opening Balmain New York at this precise moment of time feels like the most glorious and optimistic volley into the darkness of our increasingly unpredictable future.

After months of holding out, Krispy Kreme has finally put a date on the calendar for the opening of its sprawling Times Square flagship store. On September 15, the new store — located at 1601 Broadway, at West 48th Street — will flip the switch on the world’s largest hot light, the company’s signal that fresh doughnuts are ready for eating. Unlike the doughnut chain’s other New York City outposts, the Times Square location has lots of bells and whistles, including a glaze waterfall and a production line capable of making close to 400 dozen doughnuts per hour. There will also be a 24-hour walk-up window, where customers can order boxes of doughnuts for takeout.

Luxury jewelry and watch brand, Chopard, said that it will relocate its flagship boutique to the landmark Crown Building on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, considered by many to be the most exclusive retail setting in the U.S.
The Swiss company expects to move into its new 2,400-square-foot space (1,279 square feet on the ground floor and 1,143 in the basement) in March 2021. It will join current luxury retailers: Bulgari, Ermenegildo Zegna, and Mikimoto. Bergdorf Goodman, LVMH, and Tiffany & Co. anchor the other three corners of the intersection.
