For nearly 40 years, Venezuelan-born Carolina Herrera has been captivating the world with her flair for creating glamourous fashions. Her New York flagship originally opened in 2000 at Madison Avenue and 75th Street. After recently transferring creative direction to Wes Gordon, it was time for a refresh, and the boutique underwent a major renovation.
The original 6,900-sq.-ft. three-story townhouse was transformed into a modern fashion destination. Women’s apparel dominates the ground floor, along with an expansive black-and-white hexagonal tile floor and a dramatic sweeping staircase of pale pink Venetian plaster. The second level continues with more apparel and fragrances, and the third floor features the bridal boutique. It exudes glamour with its blush-colored seating and custom chandelier made of pink Venini flowers.

Balenciaga ‘s new 4,000 square-foot flagship at 620 Madison Avenue at the southwest corner of 59th Street in Manhattan represents creative director Demna Gvasalia‘s urban retail concept, which has an industrial spirit with touches of metal, concrete, and shades of gray. The public domain concept features a mix of elements from the metropolitan exterior design and original artwork is apparent. Wraparound screens play videos of different types of skies.
Hero products from the runway are displayed on hyper-realistic mannequins for maximum impact. Across one wall, the men’s and women’s shoe area runs the gamut of footwear. The Balenciaga logo is embossed across the gray carpeting. Throughout the unit, seating is upholstered with public transportation patterns, and benches resemble those in subway stations or parks.
