SOPHIE HICKS ARCHITECTS

The raw steel structure of the facade and furniture recalls the original and historical Alaïa boutique of Rue de Moussy, Paris. The spacious fitting area is the heart of the store, recalling instead the more intimate uniqueness of Alaïa, where the tradition of exceptional couture and the enjoyment of beauty are experienced first-hand.

Completed stores include 149 Mercer Street, NYC flagship, Tokyo Ginza 6, Osaka Hankyu, Chengdu SKP, and Shanghai Plaza 66.
