When a couturier meets an architect to create a fabulous home for fashion, something magical happens. The act of shopping for luxury clothing becomes much more than simply purchasing a good—instead, clients are treated to an all-encompassing aesthetic experience, one where both the clothing and the architecture complement one another. Herewith are ten spectacular boutiques in fashion capitals across the globe—all designed by world-famous architects. That’s the question we asked Vogue editors on a quest to pinpoint some of the best fashion boutiques in the country.
Some of our colleagues are drawn towards specialty stores that have an innate gift for discovering up-and-coming talent—like McMullen curated by Sherri McMullen in Oakland, California. Fashion designers hold a special place in our world. Their talent and vision play a big role in how people look, and also contribute to the cultural and social environment. They love to study fashion trends, sketch designs, select materials, and have a part in all the production aspects of their designs.
