Shop develepment on Faubourg St Honoré, Paris, for fashion house Givenchy
Givency Designer Riccardo Tisci selected Jamie Fobert Architects to work with him to create a new prét-a-porter boutique in Paris. The brief was to capture the elegance and craftsmanship of Givenchy's august history while creating a new spatial and material experience for the Parisian shopper.
The facade of the new shop on Faubourg St Honore is minimally designed. It's simple, elegant, stone and brass detailing could have existed for the past fifty years. The three large windows reveal the spaces within; the shop itself is the window display.
