Alexander Wang, the first flagship store in London

Do not call it a changing of the guard now that Alexander Wang has unveiled its first flagship store, transforming the space formerly Yohji Yamamoto, in the heart of London's Soho at 103 Grand Street. It is a changing of the guard but a sort of turning point seems to be generational. Great is the best way to describe the rise of Alexander Wang to climbing on the international scene.

E 'was born and worked in the United States, but the young talent does not seem to forget the origins of Taiwan. Marble, glass, mirrors and total white architectural elements that distinguish the salient features of the first flagship store in Soho. Without missing a few small wonder: a hammock in padded leather, a composition tree climbing in a metal mesh, a sort of roof garden close of Foreign exhibition devoted to exchanges.

The designer who worked to take care of the furniture was Ryan Korban, a young talent who wanted to revisit the architecture of the '80s counterpart in the philosophy of the young Alexander Wang.
