| This 4,000-sq.-ft. prototype represents the Italian sports brand with design elements personifying movement. Garment racks lean forward, elliptical columns descend from the dark recesses of a ceiling made fluid by undulating strips of fabric-bound aluminum flowing across the space, and hundreds of shoes climb along a 50-ft.-long canted wall textured with delicate waves. The merchandise triumphs as the transparency of fixture components place it squarely in the spotlight and reflective columns give it an instant replay. |

| This remodeled flagship expresses the savoir-vivre and playfulness of the Marc apparel and accessories label with experiments in the limits of glass and steel combined with restrained, mature details. The flexibility of the size and configuration of display units such as stainless-steel hanging racks allows for creative merchandising. Instead of shutting out the vitality of West Hollywood’s Melrose Avenue, the main sales floor embraces it. A direct path through the 4,310-sq.-ft. space expands the perceptual space. |
