In collaboration with the H&M design team, UXUS was invited to create the launch for the H&M Home Collection at their headquarters in Stockholm. The approach was to create a “gallery” of fun fashion home products which customers are encouraged to touch and explore.
H&M Home is a gallery/showroom using highly emotional product presentations, which verge on art, to encourage customers to engage with the brand.
Are you guys ready for this?.. Gucci pops-up its Gucci-Icon Temporary Shop on Crosby St. in New York’s Soho tomorrow morning at 10 am with no intention of sticking around for long. “The boutique, its white-washed walls covered in the signature Gucci evergreen and red stripes, will pack up as soon as its wares — which include the Gucci Ronson sneaker, a collaboration with celebrity DJ Mark Ronson — are sold out.” says WWD…”the company is hoping to close the space even before its two-week run is over.” So if this event sparks any interest to you I suggest making it over this weekend, cause i’m sure it will be feeling even more bare bones after the first few days of sell through. See address below.

As a Parisian, I can tell you that L’Eclaireur is THE best concept store in the French Capital – If you told me “and what about Colette?” I would tell you, Colette’s got the hype, L’Eclaireur got the class! Nothing comes close to them in Paris. Owned by French fashion connoisseur Armand Hadida and his wife Martine (owners as well of Parisian tradeshow Tranoi ). They already have 5 stores in Paris and 1 in Tokyo – This one is their 6th one, and they went pretty far into the concept, designed by Belgian Designer Arne Quinze. They decided to create a space different than any other boutiques, they wanted to prove that for selling fashion, it is not obligatory to show it, and this is why they decided to hide part of the clothes, leaving room for the percievers imagination.
Here is the review about the opening of their 6th store in 40 rue de Sévigné 75003 Paris.

With a mix of Art, luxury brands and technology like the Microsoft Table Touch or the 147 screens on the walls made of wood, cartons, polystyrene and aluminum, as well as the surprise walls that rise and fall, to accede the garments, the new l’Eclaireur store will definitely be THE new shopping destination spot in Paris…Can’t wait to see it !
The famous SHOWstudio website own and directed by Nick Knight opened a little while ago their amazing (online) store in London, where you can find bunch of randoms props/objects mostly coming from editorials and catwalk shows – www.shop.showstudio.com

How cool are the new windows of the Lanvin Faubourg Saint Honoré store in Paris, all the merchandising has been orchestrated by French artist Cyril Hatt.
1948 is Nike’s creative playground-retail store neatly tucked away in the old brick railway arches between Shoreditch High Street and Curtain Road in East London. In addition to displaying and selling shoes, 1948 offers an entire art floor for events, installations and a social meeting point.
This installation in 1948 was created by Finland-born illustrator/artist/designer Kustaa Saksi who creates retro-futuristic kaleidoscopic imagery, daunting and irresistible. This installation is all about the historical fun journey of the Nike running shoe. Saksi is a Finnsh illustrator and designer living and working in Amsterdam, via Paris for four years. Saksi sprawling scene creation has a pop-art, retro feel familiar to his other works, and it fits perfectly with Nike’s history as a brand. Saksi’s Volkswagen van and psychedelic colors illustrate the pre-swoosh era in an earnest and deliberately clunky way.

All American Dunlin bags portray an absolute hobo chic aesthetic that many brands have tried to channel and horribly failed at. Founded in 2006 by Shiho Nagashima and Ramana Goldstein, Dunlin has established itself as one of fashion’s authentic new voices with their innovative designs, hand-finished leathers, and traditional artisan techniques. The artisan vibe is very much present in the aesthetic of their soon to open first work/shop, located in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The renovation of the store was done by the designers themselves – with much of it finished by hand. The theme of the shop is right on with retail space trends, but theirs definitly feels authentic. An opening reception will be held this Saturday, June 27th if you want to be of the first to step foot in this quaint time capsule.
Continuing with the pop-up store phenomenon that we seem to be in the midst of,Louis Vuitton has teamed up with Japanese retail brand Seibu (info), in opening a temporary outlet in Seibu’s gigantic Ikebukuro department store in Tokyo – The Louis Vuitton/ Underground/ goes with a raw and industrial look and is completely different in terms of interior than other Vuitton spaces. LOUIS VUITTON underground is a concept store, and will only be running for a limited period of time…
Martin Margiela is always on top of the trends and when it comes to his store designs, they are simply art! I believe being a fan of Margiela’s collections goes hand in hand with loving their stores, I’ve been to bunch of them all over Europe, but this one recently opened in Munich, and it looks pretty clean and extremely well designed. (It was really hard to fine big pictures) The 270 sqm. store is located on top-notch maximilianstrasse and features both menswear and womenswear collections. location: maximilanstrasse 34.
Also I wish I could be there right now to check his 20 retrospective Exhibition: haus der kunst (on until june 1st) – More info Here
For his first French exhibit, photographer Todd Selby and Colette have collaborated to do a Selby Pop-up shop inside Collette. Todd Selby has taken over the walls of the Colette shop with his images and curated the Selby Space. He has produced a book of his photos specifically for this exhibit. We have been following his blog, The Selby, for awhile now and it is always super intriguing to enter into someones home from a bird’s eye view and see the scene. The space he has created inside Colette definitely carries the same charm and intrigue that his blog projects. This is a great collab on Colette’s part!
Today is the official opening of Topshop NY, a day we have all been impatiently waiting for almost year (not counting all the times in the past years we have asked ourselves why Topshop does not have a store in NYC). But it is a double celebration as the opening also marks the launch of Kate Moss’s signature collection for Topshop. Despite the enormity of this 40,000 square foot, four story shop, I have the feeling that there will still be a massive line out the door to get in today. Im waiting on the report. I sure doubt the economy will be affecting the sales Topshop has in the next month.
